 
Well, this is a very broad specialty, but most people agree that it deals with patients that are involved in sports/physical activities. This field also deals with prevention of injury in a sporting event. For example, if you sprain your ankle, our resident sports medicine physician, Dr. John Sassano, will exam your ankle, order x-rays if necessary and decide if the ankle is broken or not, and then make a final decision in treatment. Our goal is to give you the best treatment available and to get you back to your regular activity as soon as possible. If you have any kind of sports related injuries, make an appointment to see Dr. Sassano today for an evaluation.

Dr. Sassano is multi-talented when it comes to patient care. He will address all your medical needs as wells as sports medicine needs. Treating the body as a whole is called the Holistic Approach. Dr. Sassano treats the patient holistically, and uses body adjustment techniques called Osteopathic Manipulation Technique (OMT).
OMT is a technique performed by many of the Osteopathic physicians. OMT is a whole discipline itself; however, body adjustment is very beneficial in improving the range of motion, decreasing pain, and speeding up the process of recovery.
NO, most of our physicians are Osteopathic physicians, so if you are interested OMT services, then please ask any of our physicians for a demonstration.
