Dr. Booher cares for patients of all ages and activity levels—you do not need to be an athlete to seek sports medicine care. Anyone experiencing pain, discomfort or a limited range of motion can benefit from a sports medicine evaluation.

Dr. Booher treats sports medicine patients at the Hendricks Regional Health YMCA, 301 Satori Parkway in Avon, which offers convenient access to imaging services as well as an award-winning physical therapy team.

Common conditions and injuries treated by Dr. Booher include: Tennis or Golfer's elbow, Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, Runner's or Jumper's knee, Rotator cuff injuries, concussions and fractures. He also performs an in-office procedure called Tenex. This minimally invasive treatment approach is designed for patients experiencing pain from many of the conditions listed above. The procedure uses ultrasound imaging to view and remove damaged tissue. Removing the damaged tissue allows the tendon to heal properly and relieve pain, leaving no stitches. When patients are an ideal fit for Tenex, they often have faster pain relief and a quicker return to their normal activities.

Dr. Booher lives in Plainfield with his wife, Bonnie, a teacher, and their two children. He has been active in numerous community youth sports organizations as a coach and board member.
