The Sports Medicine Unit was established and exists as an orthopedic service to Lowell General Hospital's patient population, the hospital's physicians and surgeons, and the nursing and technical staff, by providing orthopedic technical assistance, resource information, and direct patient care. The Sports Medicine Department provides comprehensive orthopedic care to the adult and pediatric patients who live in the Greater Lowell area and surrounding communities. We work collaboratively with other departments in the hospital in need of orthopedic services as well as the community of orthopedic specialists and other physicians in the service area.
Our Sports Medicine Department has two locations:
- on the ground floor of the main hospital campus
- in the patient service area at the Surgery Center at LGH Chelmsford
The main campus unit is open Monday through Friday, from 7:00am-7:00pm, and Saturday from 8:00am-noon. At the present time, our Surgery Center unit is open Monday through Friday, from 9:00am-3:00pm. In addition, one Orthopedic Technician is on call during weekends, holidays and anytime the units are closed.
The Sports Medicine Department provides services in the following, but is not limited to:
- Cast Applications
- Braces
- Splints
- Orthopedic Supports
- Simple Orthotics
- Dressings
- Suture and Staple Removal
- Crutch/Cane/Walker Training
- Traction Services
- Direct Surgical Assistance

Sports Medicine appointments are scheduled through the Central Scheduling Department, as well as by the referring orthopedic surgeon or their office. In emergency cases, scheduling and registration may be performed by Emergency Room staff. Patients are to register with the main hospital or Surgery Center before being seen by our orthopedic technicians.
Our goal is to offer the highest quality orthopedic care by providing our services in an efficient manner, utilizing every available resource necessary to achieve this.
