Why Choose Intermountain Health

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhen should I see an orthopedic provider?If you have a fracture, ongoing or severe joint pain, limited mobility/instability, or symptoms persisting for weeks—and especially if surgery may be required. Do I need to be an athlete to see Sports Medicine?No—Sports Medicine is for anyone active at any level, including teens, adults, hikers, gym-goers, and physically demanding workers. Am I a candidate for joint replacement?Possibly—if arthritis limits daily activities or sleep, imaging confirms damage, and non-surgical care isn’t helping. How do orthopedics and sports medicine work together?Sports Medicine often evaluates first, initiates non-surgical care (therapy, imaging, injections), and refers to Orthopedics if surgery is needed—continuing support after surgery. Do I need a referral?Many patients do not, but some insurance plans require one. Call (801) 357-1200 and we’ll help you navigate. Do you offer same- or next-day visits??Often yes—availability varies. Call your preferred clinic to find the earliest appointment. What should I bring?Photo ID, insurance card, medications/allergies list, previous imaging, and comfortable clothing. Bring school/work forms for concussion visits. |
