Philosophy:
David L. Higgins, MD at Maryland Sports Medicine Center's state-of-the-art facility in Olney, Montgomery County, provides physical therapy, orthopedic care and rehabilitation therapy for patients with all types of sports and work-related injuries of the muscle, tendon, ligament and bone. In addition, we specialize in post-operative rehabilitation of the shoulder and knee. Doctor Higgins is a certified orthopedic surgeon.
Recognized by the U.S. Olympic Committee as a National Network Member, our fully equipped physical therapy center is staffed with knowledgeable and supportive physical therapists who guide and assess patient rehabilitation to keep patients injury-free and active.
Using "hands-on" physical therapy techniques including: soft tissue and joint mobilizations, therapeutic exercises, custom splinting and modalities such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation and iontophoresis, we are able to greatly reduce patient discomfort and recovery time.
