Sports Medicine

Sports medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with the health and well-being of athletes. Sports medicine is a broad field engaging in the care of athletes from many levels from recreational to professional. Sports medicine deals with a myriad of issues concerning athletes that may include the care of injuries, the prevention of injuries, rehabilitation from injuries, nutrition, training, and psychology.

Orthopedic surgeons are often in the forefront of sports medicine due to their unique and extensive training and exposure to injured athletes.

Athletes seek orthopedic care when musculoskeletal conditions prevent or inhibit their sporting pursuits. Consultations are often sought for acute injuries related to their specific sport or for chronic issues related to training or overuse.
