Free Athletic Injury Clinics in Chesapeake!

Studies show that playing on an injury can have disastrous results, for instance untreated knee pain or strained muscles can lead to joint issues and torn ligaments. While many athletes often accept aches and pains as part of their training regimen continuing to train despite persistent pain can result in serious injury. Athletes should never hesitate to consult with a physician, physical therapist, or sports performance coach about nagging physical issues.

For Hampton Roads athletes who don’t always have the time to see the doctor, In Motion offers a series of ongoing athletic injury clinics. These clinics provide free injury screenings from a board certified primary care and sports medicine specialist at regular hours and locations.

As of October, In Motion has started offering a third clinic location at our Chilled Ponds location in Chesapeake. Our experienced physician, Dr. Jason McHugh, of Western Branch Family Practice, evaluates sports injuries and then recommends what further treatment is necessary, whether it’s an appointment with a primary care physician, physical therapist, or orthopaedic specialist. A certified physical therapist or athletic trainer joins Dr. McHugh at each event.

Dr. Mchugh’s qualifications include:

• Fellowship in Primary Care Sports Medicine from Michigan State University
• Served as Team Physician for Michigan State University Division I Basketball, Baseball, Football, Hockey, Soccer, Swimming and Wrestling
• Member of the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine, American Osteopathic Association of Sports Medicine and American Association of Family Physicians

The Chesapeake clinics are held every Wednesday at 6 PM. For more information call In Motion at Chilled Ponds at (757) 391-7676!
