At Cedar City Clinic – Sports Medicine, we provide expert care for athletes, active individuals, and anyone experiencing musculoskeletal pain or injury. Our team, led by Nathaniel Nye, MD, CAQSM, specializes in non-surgical orthopedic care, using evidence-based treatments to help you recover, prevent injuries, and improve performance. Whether you are dealing with an acute injury, chronic pain, or looking to enhance your athletic ability, we are here to support your health and well-being.
What sets us apart
We focus on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions without surgery. Many orthopedic injuries, including fractures, sprains, and arthritis, respond best to non-surgical treatment, and we offer a range of advanced, evidence-based therapies to promote healing and restore function.
Our clinic is equipped with high-resolution musculoskeletal ultrasound technology, allowing us to diagnose injuries in real-time and perform precise, ultrasound-guided injections for pain relief and healing. This non-invasive imaging technique provides a radiation-free alternative to MRI in many cases.
We understand that every patient is unique, so we create customized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs, lifestyle, and activity level. Whether you are recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or looking to optimize your athletic performance, our goal is to help you move and feel your best.
Conditions we treat
We evaluate and treat a wide range of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Sprains, strains, and muscle tears
- Stress fractures and acute fractures (casting and splinting available)
- Osteoarthritis and joint pain
- Tendonitis and bursitis
- Labral and meniscus tears
- Persistent pain after surgery or physical therapy
- Nerve entrapments, including carpal tunnel and pinched nerves
- Concussions and sports-related head injuries
- Exertion-related conditions, including heat illness and rhabdomyolysis
Advanced diagnostic imaging and ultrasound-guided procedures
We use a GE Logiq P9 ultrasound system, which provides real-time imaging of muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and joints. Ultrasound allows for a dynamic, radiation-free evaluation that can often replace the need for an MRI while providing instant results during your visit.
We offer minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided injections to help relieve pain and promote healing, including:
- Cortisone injections for arthritis, bursitis, and inflammation
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to accelerate healing in joints and soft tissues
- Dextrose prolotherapy to strengthen and repair weakened tendons and ligaments
- Hyaluronic acid injections to improve knee osteoarthritis symptoms
- Nerve hydrodissection to relieve chronic nerve pain and entrapments
These procedures provide precise, targeted relief without the risks of surgery, allowing you to return to your activities faster.
Frequently asked questions
No. While we treat athletes, our care is for anyone experiencing musculoskeletal pain or injury. Whether you are dealing with joint pain, a work-related injury, or recovering from surgery, we can help.
Ultrasound provides real-time, dynamic imaging without radiation. It allows us to assess movement-related injuries, guide precise treatments, and deliver immediate results—often eliminating the need for an MRI.
Injection therapy is recommended when other treatments, such as physical therapy or medication, are not providing enough relief. We will assess your condition and discuss the best treatment options for you.
