Real Stories.
“I had a lot of pain in my knees and my joints. I’m a very active person. I would be in the gym for three times a day doing CrossFit, cardio, doing weight lifting, as well as doing my leisurely walks outside or anything in the park rather. But I was having so much pain that I couldn’t even run three days in a row.”

Beyond the Playing Field: Sports Medicine for Everyone
Many people think of sports medicine as something reserved for professional athletes. While we do care for high-level athletes, the reality is that most of our patients are recreational athletes, people who love to stay active and enjoy sports as a part of their lives. Whether it’s a 60-year-old tennis player with a shoulder injury or someone who twisted their ankle while hiking, we’re here to help.
Knowing when to see a primary care physician and when to visit a sports medicine clinic can be tricky. A good rule of thumb is that if you’ve had a chronic ailment for two or three weeks, it’s a good idea to check in with your primary care physician. For acute injuries, especially those in the lower extremities that make it difficult to put weight on the injured area or cause significant pain, a visit to either your primary care physician or the sports medicine clinic at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center is recommended.
Sports medicine patients are often highly motivated to get back to their activities, which is why they choose to see a sports medicine physician. They’re dedicated to their rehabilitation and often push themselves hard. Sometimes, we have to encourage them to take it easy to prevent overexertion.
Our sports medicine clinic offers a wide range of care, going beyond just treating injuries. We have orthopedic surgeons, primary care providers, physician assistants, and physical therapists who work together to provide comprehensive care. Our team helps with:
- Preventive care and exercise programs to help prevent future injuries
- Addressing non-orthopedic medical conditions related to sports, such as exercise-induced asthma and cardiac issues
- Providing advice on medications and other related matters
We are truly a comprehensive care center for sports medicine patients. Having been involved in athletics myself, I find it deeply rewarding to care for athletes and help them reach their full potential. We understand the passion and dedication that comes with a love of sports, and we’re here to help you get back to doing what you love.

Meet Dr. Sonali Lal, M.D.
Hello, Upper West Side Community. This is Dr. Sonali Lal. I’m a board-certified sports medicine doctor in New York City. My goal is to help you regain mobility, live active and fulfilling lives by offering comprehensive, non-surgical solutions for pain.
Why I Choose Sports Medicine?
Sports medicine has allowed me to achieve two important goals. First, I can make a direct impact on my patients’ lives by improving their quality of life. I sit with my patients for an hour-long consultation. It allows me to know my patients well and understand their needs. It also helps me to develop effective pain management plans. Second, sports medicine enables me to balance my professional and personal life. Like many working women, I wanted to be there for my family and not be called to the emergency room at 2 AM. This field allows me to be present for both my patients and my family.

Dr. Marko is fantastic! He is extremely knowledgeable, soft spoken, and makes the appointment fun. I first saw him when I was 20+ weeks pregnant and continued to visit him up until I gave birth. Now that I’m postpartum, I started back up and immediately feel so much better again. As a nursing mom, I have a lot of tension in my neck, shoulders, and lower back, and when I leave appointments with Dr. Marko I feel incredible. I can’t thank him enough. He has made my pregnancy journey significantly better.

After a 20+ year career as a professional dancer in ballet companies and tours all over the country, Dr. Susie Lunardi is the best physical therapist I have ever been to.

Dr. Rombolakis helped me immensely with low back and hip pain I suffered when golfing. He is very professional and used advanced techniques to get me out of pain quickly. He is unlike any other chiropractor I’ve ever been to. Couldn’t recommend him and the team at Integrative Spine and Sports enough!

Dr. Rombolakis is an exceptional chiropractor who helped me to recover from a torn muscle in less than a month. From the first consultation, Dr. Rombolakis took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explain the injury, treatment options, and recovery process.
I highly recommend Dr. Rombolakis to anyone in need of top-notch medical care. He is an outstanding doctor who truly cares about his patients and is committed to helping them achieve their health goals.

Marcel Jacobs is a great therapist who is attentive to your needs. Flexible with the scheduling and good at explaining what he is doing.

I've seen chiropractors for decades and David Williams is one of the best. I have an issue that precludes me from having my neck manipulated and because his focus is directed towards sports medicine, he told me that studies show stretching is equal to manipulating. First time I'd heard that. Did the research on my own and sure enough! I highly recommend him!

Kristin and David have been treating my wife after her major surgery; two nicer/knowledgeable people you'd be hard pressed to find. They have gone far above and beyond what I would expect a physical therapist to do to help my wife regain use of her arm and leg and we are both forever grateful for their kindness, care, and guidance. It's an ongoing process but one that I feel better about with their support. I should mention that I had my own torn ACL a while ago, and this is one of the cleanest and modern looking facilities I've been to.

I am a long-time patient at Integrative Spine and Sports, which has been an invaluable resource for me. Dr. Williams is a top-notch chiropractor as well as an incredibly personable and caring individual. The PT services are also first-rate. My physical therapist, Jesse Barriuso, is patient and passionate about his work and I am seeing substantial improvement. Last, but certainly not least, the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Can't say enough good things about Integrative Spine and Sports! Dr.Williams really knows his stuff. Fixed my my strained abdominal in less than a week and helped me alleviate shoulder impingement that has been afflicting me for six years. The staff are friendly and the office is beautiful. There are also no long waits or delays. The time of your appointment is when you are seen!

Sports Medicine FAQs
Sports medicine is a branch of healthcare that specializes in the treatment and prevention of injuries related to sports and exercise. It focuses on helping individuals improve their athletic performance, recover from injuries, and prevent future injuries.
Athletes of all levels, from recreational to professional, as well as individuals who are physically active and experience injuries or conditions related to exercise, should see a sports medicine specialist. This includes people with chronic conditions who want to improve their physical fitness.
Sports medicine doctors treat a wide range of injuries including sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, tendonitis, bursitis, and concussions. They also manage chronic conditions such as arthritis and overuse injuries.
Sports medicine focuses on the non-surgical treatment of sports and exercise-related injuries, while orthopedics deals with the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and rehabilitation of disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system, often involving surgical interventions.
To prevent sports injuries, it’s important to warm up before activities, use proper equipment, maintain good physical conditioning, follow proper technique, and listen to your body. Hydration and a balanced diet also play crucial roles in injury prevention.
