Holistic Sports Medicine

Holistic Sports Medicine

Comprehensive, conservative-first care for athletes and active individuals

Journey Orthopaedic Institute (JOI) was built to deliver sports medicine the way it should be practiced: thorough, thoughtful, and centered on the whole athlete—not just a body part or an MRI finding.

Our holistic sports medicine model integrates expert diagnosis, advanced imaging, regenerative therapies, rehabilitation strategy, and performance planning under the direct oversight of a board-certified orthopedic sports surgeon. The goal is simple: restore function, preserve tissue, and keep you active for the long term.

What “holistic” means at JOI

Holistic sports medicine does not mean alternative or unscientific care. It means evaluating and treating the entire system contributing to injury and pain.

At JOI, every evaluation considers:

• Injury mechanics and training load

• Movement patterns and kinetic chain deficits

• Tissue healing biology and timelines

• Sport, position, age, and performance goals

• Lifestyle factors (sleep, nutrition, recovery, stress)

Pain is rarely the true problem. We identify and treat the cause.

Comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis

Every patient receives a surgeon-level assessment—without rushed visits or fragmented care.

Evaluation may include:

• Detailed history and physical exam

• On-site X-ray and diagnostic ultrasound

• Review of prior imaging and treatments

• Clear explanation of diagnosis and options

You leave with answers, not uncertainty.

Conservative-first, surgery-when-necessary philosophy

JOI is explicitly designed to exhaust non-operative options before discussing surgery.

Treatment pathways may include:

• Targeted rehabilitation and load management strategies

• Image-guided injections (non-steroid and steroid when appropriate)

• Orthobiologics (PRP, BMAC, microfragmented adipose)

• Shockwave therapy (StemWave)

• Bracing, casting, splinting, and injury protection

• Performance modification and return-to-sport planning

When surgery is indicated, it is discussed clearly, honestly, and without pressure.

Integrated care—not siloed medicine

Traditional systems separate diagnosis, rehab, imaging, and procedures into disconnected steps. JOI integrates them.

• One physician guiding the full care plan

• Close coordination with physical therapy and performance providers

• Imaging used to guide treatment—not just label pathology

• Clear timelines and expectations for recovery

This model reduces delays, confusion, and unnecessary escalation of care.

Athlete-focused across all ages

JOI treats:

• Youth and high school athletes

• Collegiate and competitive athletes

• Active adults and “weekend warriors”

• Fit, motivated older adults who want joint preservation—not replacement

Care is individualized to what your body needs now and what your sport demands next.

Mobile and concierge access

JOI delivers care where it makes sense:

• In-clinic visits

• Mobile Medical Unit (home, gym, school, field, or workplace)

• Virtual follow-ups when appropriate

This removes barriers to care and keeps athletes training instead of waiting.

What you can expect

• Direct access to a fellowship-trained orthopedic sports surgeon

• Transparent recommendations and pricing

• No assembly-line visits

• No unnecessary procedures

• A clear plan from diagnosis to recovery

If something will not help you, we will say so—clearly and directly.

Who JOI is built for

Journey Orthopaedic Institute is for patients who:

• Value expertise and time

• Want conservative, evidence-based care

• Prefer joint preservation over quick fixes

• Expect clarity, accountability, and results

This is sports medicine designed around outcomes—not volume.
