Sports Medicine

Coming up with a winning game plan together.

Participating in sports is a great way to keep healthy and active, but it can also be hard on the body. Sports medicine physicians have specialized training in the treatment and prevention of sports-related injuries and conditions. These specialists can provide care for everyone from the dedicated athlete to the weekend warrior.

Common examples of musculoskeletal concerns treated by sports medicine specialists include:

  • Acute injuries (like ankle sprains, muscle strains, knee and shoulder injuries or fractures)
  • Overuse injuries (like rotator cuff and other forms of tendonitis, stress fractures)

Non-musculoskeletal concerns that can be addressed by sports medicine specialists include:

  • Injury prevention
  • Exercise prescription for patients who want to increase their fitness levels
  • “Return to play” decisions for the sick or injured athlete
  • Recommendations on safe strength-training and conditioning exercises

Sports Medicine providers specialize in non-surgical treatment of sports-related injuries and conditions. When surgery is the appropriate treatment, the sports medicine specialist can guide referrals orthopedic surgeons and physical and occupational therapies.
