SpecOrtho Specialty Orthopaedics Offers Comprehensive Sports Injury Solutions

GREENVILLE, SC, September 06, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- With the fall sports season in full swing across York and Lancaster counties, Fort Mill's SpecOrtho Specialty Orthopaedics is offering a convenient and comprehensive solution for injured athletes of all ages. The practice, which treats everything from ACL tears to minor overuse injuries, now operates under one roof, making it easier for families to navigate the often-complicated process of diagnosis and treatment.

The office houses both an X-ray machine and an open MRI scanner, ensuring that patients can get the imaging they need without leaving the building. This setup is particularly beneficial for young athletes who might feel anxious about being enclosed in a narrow tube during an MRI. According to Dr. Glen T. Feltham, the practice's founder and a certified orthopedic surgeon with subspecialty certification in orthopaedic sports medicine, this integrated approach saves time and reduces the number of steps families must go through.

"Parents usually want two answers after an injury," Dr. Feltham said. "What is actually wrong, and does my child need surgery. Doing the imaging here means we can answer the first one sooner. And the answer to the second is no more often than families expect walking in."

At SpecOrtho Specialty Orthopaedics, non-surgical care is often the first step in managing injuries. For example, a minor meniscus tear might be treated with physical therapy, rest, and anti-inflammatory medication, while stress fractures can heal on their own with proper rest and support. The practice also takes a tailored approach to pediatric injuries, employing different techniques for ACL repairs in children compared to adults, due to the still-open growth plates.

The practice's offerings extend beyond just diagnosis and treatment. They also provide guidance on how young athletes can lower their risk of injuries. Five key recommendations include:

1. Taking at least one day off a week. 2. Playing multiple sports instead of focusing solely on one. 3. Gradually building up to intensive training. 4. Prioritizing the overall health of the athlete, including physical, mental, and emotional well-being. 5. Getting a physical examination to ensure clearance for continued activity when necessary.

SpecOrtho Specialty Orthopaedics, founded by Dr. Feltham in 2017, has established itself as a go-to resource for orthopedic and sports medicine needs in Fort Mill. The practice's office is located at 130 Crisanto Ave, Suite B, in Fort Mill, South Carolina, and can be contacted at (803) 548-6464. With office hours from 8am to 5pm on Monday through Thursday, and from 8am to 1pm on Fridays, the practice is well-positioned to meet the needs of athletes and their families throughout the fall sports season and beyond.
