From Pain to Purpose

Anyone dealing with a painful injury or chronic orthopedic condition just wants to feel better and get back to their life. Along the way, they deserve care that is honest, thoughtful, and never rushed. That’s exactly what Dr. Christopher Sforzo had in mind when he founded Sforzo | Dillingham | Stewart Orthopedics + Sports Medicine in 2006.

From the start, Dr. Sforzo envisioned a practice where patients receive advanced orthopedic care without feeling overlooked or hurried. He and his colleagues, Dr. Christopher Dillingham and Dr. Charles Stewart have remained committed to that vision for nearly two decades, providing expert treatment for everything from sports related injuries to total joint replacements.

Their approach goes beyond surgery, providing personalized treatment plans that combine minimally invasive techniques, robotic-assisted procedures, and regenerative therapies like PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to support natural healing.

Just as importantly, they understand that recovery isn’t only physical—it’s emotional as well. Their goal is to help patients of all ages and fitness levels regain mobility and strength while building their confidence to move freely without fear.

For example, a young Sarasota woman, who worked as a dental assistant and was also a passionate artist, hesitated to seek help when her right hand started hurting. By the time she did reach out, the nerve compression had left all four fingers numb and she worried she would never regain full function. With expert surgical care and personalized rehabilitation, she not only returned to work but also reclaimed her artistic talents.

For Drs. Sforzo, Dillingham, and Stewart, orthopedics isn’t just a medical specialty, it’s a commitment to helping people move forward in their own way, whether that means getting back into the game, playing with their grandchildren, or simply living without pain.
