Collaborative Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Care

One of the unique advantages of Andrews Sports Medicine – Trussville is the collaborative approach between Dr. Christopher Carter, Dr. Daniel Smith, and Dr. Marcus Rothermich.

Many patients experiencing sports injuries, fractures, concussions, joint pain, tendon injuries, ligament injuries, muscle strains, overuse conditions, or other musculoskeletal concerns are first evaluated through our sports medicine program. Dr. Carter and Dr. Smith specialize in diagnosing injuries, developing non-surgical treatment plans, performing ultrasound-guided procedures, and helping patients return safely to their sport, activity, or lifestyle whenever surgery is not necessary.

When advanced orthopaedic care or surgical treatment is required, Dr. Rothermich works closely with the sports medicine team to provide seamless continuity of care. This team-based approach allows patients to receive comprehensive care close to home—from diagnosis and non-surgical treatment through surgery, rehabilitation, and recovery when needed.
