Sports Medicine Doctor Oakhurst NJ
Caring for an injured athlete means more than taking an x-ray and applying a brace. It requires a skilled, hands-on evaluation and appropriate diagnostic testing to determine the best overall plan of care. We believe surgery is almost never the first option and can be avoided in the great majority of cases. We offer our patients a wide range of nonsurgical treatments. Most treatments can be performed in the comfort of our office and require minimal recovery time. If surgery becomes the appropriate choice, we will make sure our patients receive the highest level of surgical care.
Apex Center For Regenerative Medicine is dedicated to keeping our athletic community healthy and active. We work with patients of all ages and performance levels, from students involved in competitive school and club sports; to avid amateurs who participate for fun and fitness, to professionals whose livelihood depends on their physical health.
In addition to treating sports-related injuries at our Tinton Falls office, Dr. Savarino also educates area patients, coaches, and parents about injury prevention and recognition. Through this community outreach, we aim to help individuals better understand how to care for their bodies before, during and after participating in athletics.
