Trusted Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Care in Bluffton

You rely on your body to move you all day, every day. When an injury or orthopedic condition is causing you pain or limiting that movement, you deserve quality care quickly to help you feel better and get you back in action. Novant Health Orthopedics & Sports Medicine - Buckwalter Place brings together the care team you need to address everything from acute sports injuries to longer-lasting orthopedic concerns. We help you get all the care you need close to where you live, and as conveniently as possible.

Our providers will use the most advanced diagnostic tools available to understand your current health and identify the best way to help you achieve your treatment goals. Perhaps a simple brace or splint will aid recovery from a sprain or strain, or maybe a joint injection can reduce joint pain and swelling. We are proud to help both children and adults reduce pain and lead more active lives.

Our clinic is on Buckwalter Parkway between Fording Island Drive (Highway 278) and Bluffton Parkway. We are close to the Publix Supermarket at Buckwalter Place. We are convenient to Bluffton, Pritchardville, Okatie and Hardeeville.

It only takes a few minutes to help you stay active for years.

Our joint health quiz shows you how to stay strong, flexible and moving freely through every stage of life.
