The Wakefield Sports Clinic was founded in 1992 via a merger between the Adelaide Sports Sciences Clinic and a team of elite orthopaedic surgeons looking to provide a complete and comprehensive sports medicine service for South Australia. All the practitioners were well-established in their field, and the resultant merger produced a clinic that provides the highest-quality care for many of the nation's elite athletes, and recreational athletes alike.
