Our History
Physicians of Tennessee Orthopaedic
Associates and The Lipscomb Clinic have provided medical care for injured athletes in
Nashville and Middle Tennessee for over four decades. In 1996, these two distinguished
groups merged to form Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance, the largest and most experienced
group of orthopaedic and Sports Medicine physicians in Tennessee.
The Lipscomb Sports Medicine Center of the Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance consists of
physicians and ancillary personnel who are specifically trained to understand the needs of
athletes. Whether professional, intercollegiate, interscholastic or recreational, marathon
runners or weekend warriors, the physicians and clinical staff of the Sports Medicine
Center provide care to all types of athletes.
Why The Sports Medicine Center
The specialists at the
Sports Medicine Center understand athletes, their injuries and the healing process of the
human body. This expertise, combined with the latest in rehabilitation and medical
technology enables injured athletes to return to their optimal level of athletic
performance as quickly and safely as possible.

Lipscomb Sports Medicine Center are board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic
Surgery and members of the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine and
Arthroscopy Association of North America. The collective accomplishments of the Center's
physicians are impressive, including over 50 publications in major medical journals,
and a dozen book chapters on sports related conditions and presentations at medical
conferences throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia.
