Where to Find Good Help
We used a variety of ways to come up with this list of recommended physicians, podiatrists, physical therapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists.
We started by asking physicians on our Top Doctors list if they specialize in sports medicine. We also sent surveys to all of the doctors on that list, asking them to recommend sports-medicine experts. Then we called top trainers, coaches, and athletes and asked whom they would turn to for treatment of a sports injury.
Although the following practitioners come highly recommended, their inclusion on this list is no guarantee that you’ll be happy with their care, nor should it be a substitute for your own research and judgment. The practitioners listed here are among the area’s “best,” but they’re not the only good ones.
