Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Sport Ortho Urgent Care.
What is Sport Ortho?
Sport Ortho is a comprehensive orthopedic practice. 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.
How does Sport Ortho decide how to treat my injury?
Treatment follows the diagnosis. Many muscle, bone, and joint problems improve with physical therapy, medication, or injections, and that is often where care begins. Others need imaging, a specialist, or surgery. Our clinicians use the full range of options and recommend the one that fits your condition, your goals, and your activity — the aim is the right treatment, not a particular kind of treatment.
If I need surgery, who performs it?
Sport Ortho includes fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons, so for many conditions the surgeon who treats you is already part of the practice that diagnosed you. Where a condition calls for a subspecialty we do not cover, we guide patients to an appropriate specialist. Either way we support the whole journey, from evaluation through surgery and post-operative recovery.
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.
