About Murphy SportsMedicine Center

Dr. Murphy is an orthopedic surgeon who has practiced in San Diego since 1988. He specializes in sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery. He completed his residency in San Diego in 1985, and was Board Certified in 1987 and recertified in 1996 and 2006. He obtained a CAQ (Certificate of Added Qualification) in Sports Medicine in 2012 from the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM). His career lead him to serve in the United States Navy as an orthopedic surgeon in Naples where he was head of the Department of Orthopedics for two years. He was also mobilized to serve in Desert Storm in 1991.

In addition to sports medicine, Dr. Murphy cared for trauma patients regularly at Sharp Memorial Hospital, which led to his association with the sport of Supercross in the early 1990s. He would treat the legends of Supercross, including Jeremy McGrath, Mike LaRocco, Bubba Stewart, Ricky Carmichael, and many others. He has become known as the Supercross doctor.

Dr. Murphy would become one of the team orthopedic surgeons for the San Diego Chargers in 1994 and became the head team doctor in 1998. He would continue his role as team doctor for the Chargers until 2002. He would then become a head team physician for the University of San Diego. At the University of San Diego, he would be responsible for caring for all of the athletes who participate in Division I sports including men’s football, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, and women’s volleyball. He would be responsible for instructing student athletic trainers at the University in his role as head team physician.

Dr. Murphy is also the team physician for Cathedral Catholic High School and Saint Augustine High School. He donates his time to high school athletes and runs a free clinic on Saturday mornings in the fall of each year for high school athletes who have been injured in Friday night football games.

Dr. Murphy continues to treat sports medicine injuries, both surgically and nonoperatively, specializing in shoulder and knee injuries. He is one of the very few orthopedic surgeons in the San Diego County and Southern California areas who employs Sonorex treatments (Shock Wave Therapy, a form of lithotripsy) for chronic joint injuries and tendonitis rather than surgery. The most common form of tendonitis includes lateral epicondylitis at the elbow, patellar tendonitis at the knee, Achilles tendonitis at the ankle, and plantar fasciitis at the foot. All of these conditions can now be treated non-operatively with equal success compared to surgery.

Dr. Murphy has been a pioneer of in-office MRI use and outpatient surgery centers that are within his same building, allowing patients to be treated more seamlessly during acute and chronic phases of people’s injuries.

Dr. Murphy is married to his wife, Lynn, and has five children. His free time is spent with his family, surfing or golfing.

About Dr. Jeffrey Lai, MD

ABOUT DR. JEFFREY LAI  

“Sports and athletics have always been an important part of my life, and I attribute much of my own health and well-being to being stubbornly insistent on leading a physically active lifestyle. Movement and activity are paramount to optimal health. This is true for all walks of life and at any age in life. I chose the specialty of sports medicine not only because I myself am a lifelong athlete, but because it’s the only medical specialty that values movement and offers non-surgical methods to restore movement. Growing up in the South Bay, I’m privileged to start my private practice in Torrance, California, and to offer leading-edge medical and non-surgical treatments to keep you moving!”

BACKGROUND

Dr. Babaria grew up in Norwood, New Jersey, a small suburb town of Bergen County. This is where he became an Eagle Scout and was exposed to the volunteer ambulance and fire squads. He completed his undergraduate education at The Pennsylvania State University and received a  degree in Psychology and minors in Neuroscience and Economics. He then pursued a two-year post-graduate studies program in Thane, India at Tattvagnan Vidhyapeeth (TVP). TVP literally translates to “study of true knowledge.” It is a school aiming to develop the most versatile future leaders of the world by promoting values-centric education. From rigorous classes in critical, comparative Eastern and Western philosophy, world religions, history, and Vedic literature, TVP enhances students’ curiosity quotient, emotional intelligence, and cross-cultural sensitivity. It was at TVP where Dr. Babaria further enhanced his study and practice of yoga, its philosophy, and spiritual exercise. 

After earning his medical degree from A.T. Still University, Dr. Babaria completed residency training at University Hospitals in Cleveland, OH, an affiliate of Case Western Reserve University. During this training experience, he received formal training in Integrative Medicine from the University of Arizona. In residency training,  he participated as a regional and national instructor for osteopathic manual medicine therapies. 

Dr. Babaria then completed a North American Spine Society (NASS) accredited interventional spine and musculoskeletal sports medicine fellowship at OSSHEALTH, under the direction of world-renowned Dr. Michael Furman MD, MS, the author of Atlas of Image-Guided Spine and MSK Procedures; the preeminent atlas on image-guided interventional procedures. Dr. Furman and OSSHEALTH have trained over 110 fellows over the last 15+ years. Other programs that are  NASS-accredited include Stanford, Cleveland Clinic, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), Vanderbilt, Rothman Institute, and Johns Hopkins.

There, he furthered his knowledge in diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound, electrodiagnostics, and the full spectrum of advanced fluoroscopic and ultrasound-guided injection procedures for the treatment of nerves, joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles, and pain. He also received formal certification to provide TENEX, Basivertebral Nerve Ablations (BVN) - Intracept, neuromodulation, and regenerative medicine. 

Dr. Babaria has a clinical interest in the interconnection between spinal pain conditions and musculoskeletal injuries, and the integrative treatment of this continuum with innovative interventional and regenerative techniques, neuromuscular manual medicine, and therapeutic exercise. 

Dr. Babaria's Commitment to you

Dr. Babaria is committed to providing compassionate care for patients with a wide range of ailments, using a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Babaria works with several types of practitioners during the treatment process, including occupational, massage, and physical therapists; chiropractors; surgeons; primary care providers and vocational and case management services. 

 Dr. Babaria also performs many treatments himself including spinal and peripheral joint injections. Overall, he believes in using the most conservative and least invasive care possible to help restore his patients to their optimum level of functioning.

Outside of Work

Outside of work, Dr. Babaria most enjoys spending time with his loved ones and avidly participating in a variety of recreational sports including basketball, volleyball, baseball, and football. He loves the outdoors including the water and hiking alike. He very proudly boasts that he can "drop dimes" and is more than willing to recount stories of his pickup basketball success and glory.

“I have already had six joints done previously with Coastal Regenerative medicine. Have been to both doctors and they are both very good. Dr. Cohen is easy to talk to and isactually interested in my issues (rare these days). He’s thorough with the ultrasound and makes sure that he doesn’t hurt you when doing the injections. With older long-term injuries I’ve had some success with a return of symptoms.With the more recent injury, I had very good success. I have returned for issues with my other shoulder, a newer injury. I will definitely use this office for injuries/arthritis and aging issues in the future.”
