Hometown Brother Duo leads new Sports Medicine & Orthopedics practice
PADUCAH, KY (Aug. 14, 2025) – Baptist Health Medical Group has expanded orthopedic care in western Kentucky with the launch of its Sports Medicine service line. This specialty will be led by two brothers; Luke Beggs, MD, and Jake Beggs, PA-C. The Beggs’ offer advanced, nonoperative orthopedic and sports medicine care for athletes and active individuals with no referral needed.
Both graduates of Heath High School, the Beggs brothers, are thrilled to bring their expertise home to serve the Paducah community. “This is more than a job, it’s a dream realized,” said Luke Beggs, MD with BHMG Sports Medicine. “My brother, Jake, is an experienced orthopedic PA, and the chance to work together has been a dream of ours for a while now. We’re excited to use our unique skills and training to help our friends, family and neighbors stay active and healthy.”
Dr. Beggs specializes in diagnosing and treating orthopedic and sports-related conditions, including joint injuries, arthritis, and fractures. He also offers ultrasound-guided injections and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, an innovative treatment popular among professional athletes. Jake Beggs focuses on sports medicine, athlete recovery, nonsurgical orthopedics and nutritional counseling, ensuring a well-rounded approach to patient care.
“We view every patient as an athlete in the sport of life,” said Dr. Beggs. “Our goal is to optimize movement, prevent injuries, and help people regain function so they can keep doing what they love.”
They treat conditions such as ankle sprains, knee injuries, tendinitis, stress fractures, and other sports-related issues in both youth and adult athletes.
In addition to injury treatment, the Beggs brothers emphasize exercise as the most effective tool for injury prevention and longevity, especially for aging adults. “A strong body is a resilient body,” said Dr. Beggs. “Exercise is the best way to prevent injuries and maintain mobility, no matter your age.”
