Orthopaedic Specialists to the Runners
At University Orthopaedic Associates (UOA), we understand how important running is to those who enjoy participating in the sport. We also understand the impact it has on you when you can't do what you love because of an injury.
 
From running to field events; recreational to professional, we have years of experience treating and preventing runners' injuries as well as enhancing performance. We are now proud to care for the Garden State Track Club runners as the official orthopaedic practice.
 
We congratulate the UOA Athletes of the Week over the last month!  Here are two of them!
