Sports Injury Treatment
Sports injuries affect athletes at every level — from weekend runners and recreational tennis players to Division I competitors and professional athletes. Whether the injury is an acute event like a torn ACL on the field or a chronic overuse condition like rotator cuff tendinitis from years of overhead throwing, the treatment goals are the same: accurate diagnosis, appropriate intervention, and a structured return to sport that restores full function without risking re-injury. Dr. Jonathan Glashow is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and Clinical Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, with fellowship training in sports medicine at the Southern California Orthopedic Institute/UCLA — and he brings the same diagnostic precision and surgical expertise to every patient that he provides as Chief Medical Officer for the New Jersey Devils (NHL) and Philadelphia 76ers (NBA). A Castle Connolly Top Doctor every year since 2000, with more than 15,000 procedures performed, Dr. Glashow treats sports injuries across all joints at his Upper East Side practice in New York City.
