For Physicians + Other Medical Professionals

Working together with you is the best way to help your patients get off the sidelines and back to living, working, and playing.

Along with close collaboration with referring physicians and other medical professionals, The Shelbourne Knee Center’s proven treatments are based on:

  • 40+ years of research with 13,000+ patients.

Faster Healing and Better Long-Term Outcomes

By focusing only on knees, we’ve built extensive experience in treating ACL injuries, knee arthritis, and other knee injuries and conditions. Our treatment protocols help patients heal faster and with better long-term outcomes. For example,

  • Our return to sport rate after ACL reconstruction is 85-90%, compared to a 50–60% average for most orthopedic practices.
  • 76% of our patients didn’t need knee replacement surgery after completing physical therapy at Shelbourne Knee Center.
