Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy
The Sports Medicine Clinic assists in maintaining our students’ active lifestyles. This area of the Student Health Center consists of the sports medicine evaluation and treatment area as well as the Physical Therapy Department.
The Sports Medicine Clinic provides evaluation and treatment for sports-related injuries and conditions, including sprains, strains, and simple fractures. Care includes concussion evaluation and management, and a personalized treatment plan focused on a safe return to activity.
Services provided may include crutch and brace fitting, coordination of diagnostic testing, and referrals when needed.
Appointment Attire
Students with an appointment in the Sports Medicine Clinic or Physical Therapy Department should bring or wear comfortable clothing, preferably shorts, to facilitate evaluation and treatment of injuries and should allow an hour or more for appointments.
Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy Fees
Sports Medicine Clinic
Services of the Sports Medicine Clinic providers are covered by the Student Programs and Services Fee, so they are provided at no additional cost to students. However, there are nominal charges for labs, x-rays, injections/immunizations, and durable medical equipment, like crutches and braces. Only students with the university-sponsored Student Health Insurance plan will have their insurance billed directly.
Physical Therapy Department
A limited number of physical therapy appointments are available for each diagnosis and treatment plan. Patients requiring more than the allotted number of visits for their condition will be referred to an outside therapy center for further care.
Services provided by the Physical Therapy Department are not covered by the Student Programs and Services fee, so they are provided at additional cost to students. Students with the University-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan will have their insurance billed directly.
Students may contact the Physical Therapy Department to inquire about an estimate of cumulative charges for their condition. Students with health insurance other than the university-sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan often find it financially advantageous to receive a referral to an outside therapy center. Referrals may be arranged through the Sports Medicine Clinic.
