Sports Medicine

Sports medicine is a specialty dedicated to the prevention and treatment of injuries and illnesses related to physical activity. Sports medicine physicians specialize in providing comprehensive care for athletes, teams, and individuals looking to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Sports medicine is not just for athletes but for everyone of all ages and activity levels. The field involves non-operative care of injuries to muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and joints including rehabilitation and injections.

Eagle’s sports medicine physician Dr. Caroline Allen is a board-certified family physician with additional advanced fellowship training in sports medicine. Her family medicine background allows her to address the patient as a whole and treat not only musculoskeletal conditions but also other illnesses related to sports and physical activity such as concussions and asthma. Her training includes the use of ultrasound for both the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of injuries. Caroline also provides Trigger Point Injections! TMJ injections are used to address painful "knots" in the jaw muscles, relaxing them and reducing tension.

Dr. Allen believes in the importance of developing individualized treatment plans for his patients. Our goal is to get people moving again and reach their personal goals for physical activity so they can enjoy their best active life.
