Did you know that your knee joint is the largest joint in your body? Not only does it support the majority of your weight and movement, but it also acts as a shock absorber. It’s no wonder why it’s so incapacitating when good knees go bad.

Knee problems can arise at any age due to injury, overuse or arthritis. Sore knees can be treated with anti-inflammatory medications and RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation), but severe knee pain should be examined by a knee doctor right away — especially if you heard a “pop” during the injury, or if the knee can’t move or support your weight.

Treatment may range from nonsurgical options like physical therapy, injections or immobilization to surgical options like knee arthroscopy, ACL reconstruction or total knee replacement. Fortunately, Andrews Sports Medicine is the primary practice for several leading knee specialists in AL. We have decades of advanced experience treating:

  • Anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACL tear)
  • Arthritis in knee
  • Articular cartilage injury
  • IT band syndrome
  • Knee ligament injuries, including ACL, PCL and MCL
  • Meniscus tear
  • Osgood-Schlatter disease
  • Osteoarthritis in knee
  • Patellofemoral pain syndrome
  • Runner’s knee

COVID-19

Based on Governor Ivey's Safer-At-Home guidelines, all of our doctors are conducting face-to-face patient appointments within our clinics; however, some of our doctors are seeing reduced patient schedules due to social distancing recommendations. Furthermore, to accommodate social distancing requirements and to reduce patient and staff exposure, we ARE NOT allowing non-patients to enter our lobbies/waiting rooms unless they are accompanying a patient who is a minor or someone needing mobility assistance.

Effective June 29, 2020, public establishments in Jefferson County require persons to wear a face covering by order of the Jefferson County Health Officer. Based on the Jefferson County ordinance, ALL individuals entering our clinics located in Jefferson County -  St. Vincent’s Birmingham, Gardendale and Trussville - are REQUIRED to wear a mask or facial covering (bandana, scarf) to comply with the law. Note: Persons over the age of 8 and older are required to wear a face covering.

In addition, our practice is REQUIRING patients who have appointments at our satellite clinics outside of Jefferson County (Cullman, Hoover and Pelham) to wear a mask or facial covering (bandana, scarf) to protect our staff and other patients.
