Some of the work that helped advance sports medicine took place in Eugene, where physicians, coaches, and athletes were beginning to study injury through a broader understanding of gait, mechanics, rehabilitation, and performance.
It is common to give pain or an injury some time before scheduling an appointment. You may rest for a few days, avoid the movement that hurts, use ice, or take over-the-counter medication.
Scheduling an orthopedic evaluation is not the same as deciding to have surgery. The initial purpose of the appointment is to understand what is causing the problem, how it is affecting you, and which treatment options may be appropriate.
Slocum marked an important milestone in the construction of our new ambulatory surgery center in Eugene with a girder signing at the project site.
Slocum was built with a clear idea in mind: that excellent orthopedic care could be physician-led, locally rooted, and sustained here in Eugene for the long term.
One of the clearest signs that a problem may need medical attention is night pain. If pain is waking you up, keeping you from falling asleep, or making it hard to stay comfortable in bed, it has moved beyond occasional annoyance.
