The Team Behind The Team
Sports Medicine is a medical subspecialty that diagnoses, treats and prevents sports-related injuries and advances the science of exercise. While sports medicine is usually perceived as a discipline concerned with repairing athletes’ traumatic injuries, this medical science is much more encompassing. From the weekend athlete to the marathon runner, anyone who participates in exercise can benefit from the knowledge and skills of a dedicated team of professionals with a long history of successful experiences resulting from decades of caring for aspiring professional athletes as well as active individuals of all ages.
“Our collective experience in sports medicine allows us to bring a wealth of knowledge to anyone who participates in exercise and physical activity,” says Dr. Tom Haney, co-founding partner of Tallahassee Orthopedic Clinic (TOC). “Whether it is a professional athlete or an elderly person exercising to keep fit, Tallahassee Orthopedic Clinic not only offers a multidisciplinary approach to injuries, but we have a remarkable amount of talent and experience to bring to patients.”
TOC was founded in 1972 by Drs. Doug Henderson and Tom Haney as the first medical practice in north Florida dedicated exclusively to sports medicine. Today TOC continues to grow to meet the needs of an ever expanding area of service in North Florida and South Georgia and includes 16 orthopedists, and two family practice physicians with subspecialties, eight Physician Assistants (PA), four Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners (ARNP), four Registered Nurses (RN), two certified orthopedic & prosthetic providers and a support team of medical and technical assistants.
The clinical goal of the Sports Medicine program at TOC is to return the injured athlete to his or her chosen sport or exercise quickly, with the least possible risk of re-injury.
