Orthopedics & Sports Medicine BayCare Clinic is expanding its Manitowoc team, welcoming Dr. Michael Harper, a non-operative and interventional sports medicine physician.
Harper specializes in regenerative medicine, also known as orthobiologics, which taps into the body’s ability to initiate a healing response. He treats acute and chronic orthopedic conditions with the goal of easing pain and improving function. To help patients achieve their wellness goals, he uses non-operative measures that include physical therapy, medications, bracing and injections using ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance.
He will see patients at BayCare Clinic Lakeside Campus, 1111 Bayshore Drive, beginning Monday, August 1.
Harper earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. He completed his residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at Medical College of Wisconsin. Harper was fellowship trained in sports medicine at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.
A native of the Madison area, Harper was a three-sport athlete in high school, where he received his first exposure to sports medicine while injured. He studied athletic training at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and was a certified athletic trainer before beginning his medical studies. He is excited to be returning home to Wisconsin with his wife Allison and their two sons. They are expecting a third child in September 2022.
