Sports Medicine Q & A


What is sports medicine?

Sports medicine  is a medical specialty focused on treating and preventing injuries  sustained during athletic or fitness pursuits. Physicians trained in  sports medicine are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of  injuries. 

Many aspects of sports medicine focus on orthopedic  issues like strains, sprains, fractures, joint dislocation, rotator cuff  and other overuse issues, and joint inflammation. However, there are  other types of services that also fall under the umbrella of sports  medicine, including:

  • Management of chronic or acute illness for athletes
  • Aspects of nutrition and supplementation 
  • Injury prevention
  • Tailored exercise plans
  • Concussions
  • “Return to play” determinations

A  great sports medicine physician understands the complexities of  athletic pursuits and is trained to address the dynamic needs athletes  and fitness enthusiasts face. 


Is sports medicine just for professional athletes?

The  first time many people learn about sports medicine is in relation to a  favorite professional or college sports team or a headline news story  about a well-known athlete. It’s important to understand that sports  medicine is not just for elite athletes.

Anyone can encounter a  sports injury. Participation in community or recreation league sports,  competition sports, or youth sporting organizations can lead to sports  injuries. Don’t let the word “sports” cloud the issue; pursuits like  ballet, yoga, inline skating, and even lighthearted roughhousing can all  cause injuries treated with a sports medicine approach. 

Men,  women, and children can sustain a sports medicine injury, and could also  benefit from working with a sports medicine professional to prevent  injury and boost productivity.


How can a sports medicine physician help if I’m not injured?

One  of the most powerful benefits of sports medicine lies in its ability to  prevent an injury before it occurs. Working with a sports medicine  specialist is a great way to ensure your body is prepared to face the  rigors of athletic or fitness pursuits. 

Your specialist discusses  your health history, lifestyle, fitness experience, and athletic goals.  A physical exam provides more insight into your current level of  fitness.

Once that information is gathered, your doctor works with  you to create a customized training plan to help you become more active  and enhance your performance without placing undue strain on your  body.    

From developing a healthy weight training program to  finding fresh cardio options or low-impact exercises that improve  flexibility, your sports medicine professional is truly on your team.  You’ll also learn how to boost your nutrition and explore the right  supplements for your needs and goals.  

Get started today by booking a visit to Spine & Sports Medical Group online or by phone.
