Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Sport Ortho Urgent Care.

What is Sport Ortho?

Sport Ortho is a comprehensive orthopedic practice focused on providing patients access to conservative care. Our providers are trained to treat all types of muscle, bone, and joint pain, whether from injury or age-related wear and tear. Each location is equipped to take x-rays, and most locations have a physical therapist on-site. No matter how minor or complex, we see patients through their journey to recovery.

Do I need to make an appointment?

Appointments are not necessary — you can walk into any of our clinic locations. However, scheduling an appointment in advance can help reduce your overall visit time.

Does Sport Ortho accept insurance, self-pay, and TennCare?

Sport Ortho is committed to making our services accessible and affordable. We accept a wide range of insurance plans, including Medicare, and offer transparent pricing for self-pay patients. TennCare patients are also accepted.

Why do you call your clinic locations urgent care?

Our clinics are designated as urgent care to signify our commitment to immediate, accessible care — a convenient option for prompt treatment without the long waits typically associated with orthopedics. Our 12 clinics are strategically located across Middle Tennessee, from Clarksville in the north to Lawrenceburg in the south.

What is conservative orthopedic care?

The goal is to avoid or delay surgical intervention whenever possible, considering it only when conservative measures do not provide sufficient relief or when the condition is unlikely to improve without surgery. Our clinicians use a wide range of approaches designed to relieve pain, improve function, and promote healing.

If a patient requires surgery, how does Sport Ortho select the appropriate orthopedic surgeon?

We guide patients through every step of their care journey, from initial conservative treatment through surgery and post-operative recovery. We collaborate closely with a network of esteemed orthopedic surgeons and guide patients to the most suitable specialist for their condition.

Why should physicians and APPs send referrals to Sport Ortho?

Our comprehensive, adaptable approach combines orthopedic expertise with physical therapy so patients receive the right strategy quickly, optimizing outcomes and minimizing unnecessary interventions. We develop personalized care plans, support patients throughout recovery, and keep referring providers informed of their patient’s progress.
