Welcome to the Midwest Institute of Sports Medicine, where you will find sports medicine experts who truly take care of you. Whether you are an athlete or non-athlete, we take your concerns seriously and bring you the latest in treatment options. Keeping you active is our top priority.

Our physician, Dr. Erik Adams, believes in spending the necessary time to provide you with the information you need. Patients are never rushed through our clinic, because we believe that information is the most valuable thing that we can provide.

We favor a conservative approach, which means an emphasis on prevention and non-invasive to minimally-invasive treatment. Most of our patients recover with physical therapy, and we are strong advocates for new therapy techniques which have emerged in the past few years. Examples of this are new applications of the Matrix exercises (see Hot Topics) for anterior knee pain and challenging exercises that work your core for low back pain.

SportDynamics is our premiere program for helping female athletes reduce their risk of ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries.  Currently, SportDynamics classes are being held at Capitol Physical Therapy and are being taught by Julie Lombardo PT, MA.  Call Capitol Physical Therapy at (608) 848-6628 for information on upcoming classes.
