Sports Medicine

Sports medicine involves treating sports injuries which occur when playing indoor or outdoor sports or while exercising. Sports injuries can occur for many reasons. Griffin Daly Medical Centre offers a specialised sports medicine clinic. We cater for athletes and sports teams of all levels from local clubs to international athletes.

The team, led by Professor Michael Griffin, provide a holistic approach to sports medicine assessing and treating the underlying cause of the problem, not merely the symptoms. We believe in a comprehensive approach with examination and assessment, followed by treatment and rehab plans, and further intervention and joint injections where required.
