About Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Center; Dr. James R. McAtee, MD
Located in Manhattan, Kansas, the Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Center (OSMC) is a comprehensive orthopedic facility that has been serving northeast Kansas for over 30 years. Founded in 1983 by Dr. Richard Baker Jr. and Dr. William T. Jones, the practice combines a long‑standing commitment to community health with a modern focus on sports medicine, physical therapy, and advanced orthopedic procedures. OSMC emphasizes a non‑surgical, evidence‑based approach to musculoskeletal care, offering regenerative orthopedics such as platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) injections to accelerate healing of soft‑tissue injuries and arthritic joints. The team’s philosophy centers on individualized treatment plans that blend ultrasound‑guided injections, targeted physical therapy, and cutting‑edge technologies to provide non‑surgical joint pain relief and rapid return to activity. The practice’s authority is reinforced by a seasoned staff of orthopedic physicians, physician assistants, and a full spectrum of allied health professionals. Physicians including MDs James R. McAtee, Bryce A. Palmgren, Adam J. Chase, Trevor Gaskill, and D.O. Heidi Smith work alongside ARNPs and PA‑Cs, while a dedicated physical therapy department, led by PTs and DPTs, delivers rehabilitation ranging from gait training to specialized sport‑specific programs. OSMC’s affiliation with local hospitals and its role as the team physician provider for Kansas State University Athletics further underscore its expertise and community impact.
