Family medicine, sports medicine

Theo Lindqvist, MD

• Sports injuries
• Primary care
• Joint pain

Dr. Lindqvist sees general family medicine patients and takes most of the practice's musculoskeletal work: knees, shoulders, backs, running injuries and the steady stream of pickleball complaints that Spokane now produces.

He performs joint injections in the clinic and works with a local physical therapy group so that patients are usually in therapy within a week rather than a month.

He covers team physicals for two Valley high schools and has strong opinions about return-to-play timelines.

Rest is rarely the whole answer, and it is almost never the whole answer for long.
