Gettysburg Orthopedics and Sports Medicine is pleased to announce that Dr. Thomas A. Little is now offering orthopedic care in Gettysburg and Adams County.
Little provides patient-oriented, non-surgical care of injuries to the muscles, bones, and joints, helping patients correct the physical imbalances that inevitably accumulate over the course of their lives, reducing pain and deterioration without surgery.
Little graduated with honors from the Penn State University College of Medicine and completed his internship, orthopedic surgery residency, and shoulder surgery fellowship at the Penn State University Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. After completing his medical training in 2001, Little joined Gettysburg Orthopaedics with Drs. Lon Woods, Joseph Tripi, and Ivan Miller, a partnership that in 2007 became Wellspan Orthopedics. In 2016 he transferred to Summit Orthopedics in Chambersburg, where he worked until his retirement from surgical practice in 2021. In addition to his medical practice, Little served for ten years as an adjunct professor at Gettysburg College, where he taught courses in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and the pathophysiology of chronic disease.
A lifelong recreational athlete, Little enjoys swimming, cycling, running, skiing, and hiking—activities he believes have given him insight into his patients’ struggles. “Over the years, I’ve had my share of sports-related injuries, both chronic and traumatic, so I understand how frustrating it can be to be limited by pain and injury,” Little said. “I use those experiences, my medical training, and my teaching background to help my patients get back to the activities they love.”
Located at 371 East Water Street, Gettysburg Orthopedics and Sports Medicine shares a building with the newly opened Gettysburg Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine.

Dr. Little, Are you related to Marshall Little who fought with the 34th New York at the Battle of Antietam? He was from Onieda County New York. Marshall was wounded at Antietam. He died in 1910.
I’ve known Tom for a long time and this is fantastic news for him to be back in Gettysburg. I look forward to seeing him as a patient as I cope with the challenges of an aging athletic enthusiast. Welcome home Tom!
