Sports Medicine in Collierville, TN

Helping Athletes and Active Individuals Heal Without Surgery

From the tennis courts to the pickleball courts, from weekend runs to competitive sports, staying active is a way of life in Collierville and the greater Memphis area. But injuries—whether sudden or from overuse—can sideline you from the activities you love. At Lendermon Sports Medicine & Regenerative Orthopedics, we specialize in advanced sports medicine with a regenerative focus, helping patients heal naturally, recover faster, and return to peak performance without unnecessary surgery.

What Is Sports Medicine?

Sports medicine is the branch of healthcare dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and preventing injuries related to physical activity. Traditional sports medicine often relies on rest, physical therapy, medications, or surgery. While these can help, regenerative sports medicine adds a powerful option—encouraging the body to repair itself at the source of the injury.

Regenerative Sports Medicine (PRP & BMAC)

Using minimally invasive treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), we help stimulate the body’s natural healing process. These therapies concentrate your own cells and growth factors to:

• Promote faster, more complete healing of injured tissue
• Reduce pain and inflammation
• Restore mobility, strength, and function
• Potentially shorten recovery time compared with surgery

Common Sports Injuries We Treat

• Tendon injuries – rotator cuff tears, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, patellar tendinopathy, Achilles tendonitis
• Ligament injuries – ACL/MCL sprains, ankle sprains, UCL injuries in the elbow
• Cartilage damage & arthritis – early joint degeneration and wear‑and‑tear from running, jumping, or contact sports
• Muscle injuries – acute strains, chronic hamstring or calf pain, muscle tears
• Overuse injuries – stress reactions, shin splints, shoulder impingement, IT band syndrome
• Spine and back issues – facet-related pain, sacroiliac joint strain, sports-related low back pain
• Pickleball-related injuries – shoulder strains, lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), wrist sprains, knee pain, and ankle sprains from quick starts and stops

• Regional leaders in non-surgical, image‑guided PRP and BMAC procedures

Precision-Guided Treatments

All injections are performed under ultrasound or fluoroscopic (X‑ray) guidance to ensure accurate targeting of the injured tissue and to maximize safety and effectiveness.

Patient-Centered Care

No two injuries are the same. We build a personalized plan around your diagnosis, sport, training schedule, and performance goals—whether that’s returning to competition or simply staying active without pain.

Our Evaluation & Treatment Process

• Thorough Assessment – detailed history, targeted physical exam, and imaging when appropriate
• Conservative Foundations – activity modification, physical therapy, bracing, and biomechanics coaching
• Regenerative Options – PRP or BMAC considered when healing has stalled or when you want to avoid surgery
• Image-Guided Precision – ultrasound or fluoroscopy guidance for injections
• Return-to-Play Plan – staged progression, sport‑specific drills, and re‑injury prevention strategies

Is Regenerative Treatment Right for Me?

PRP or BMAC may be considered if you want to avoid or delay surgery, have a partial tear or chronic tendinopathy that hasn’t responded to conservative care, or need targeted healing support to get back to sport safely. Many athletes appreciate the tissue‑preserving, minimally invasive nature of these options.

Sports We Commonly Support

• Pickleball, tennis, and racquet sports
• Running, track and field, and endurance sports
• Baseball, softball, and throwing sports
• Basketball, soccer, and field sports
• Golf and rotational sports
• Weight training, CrossFit, and fitness activities

What to Expect After Treatment

• Most procedures are outpatient and minimally invasive
• Short-term activity modification, followed by guided rehabilitation
• Progressive return to sport with a focus on mechanics and durability
