Sports medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with physical fitness and the treatment and prevention of injuries related to sports and exercise.
Our primary care sports medicine physicians prescribe treatments for professional and amateur athletes. They work in our hospitals and clinics, and with local high school, collegiate or professional sports athletes.
Our physicians often work alongside physical therapists to create rehabilitation plans, or with athletic trainers to develop appropriate exercise regimens. While orthopedic surgeons are trained to perform surgery, primary care sports medicine doctors do not operate on athletes but expedite referral to one of our orthopedic surgeons if needed.
Sports related injuries may occur at any age. Proper equipment, training and stretching exercises can help avoid injury.
If you believe you have a sports related injury, contact our office for an appointment.
