What is a Sports Medicine Physician and How Can They Help You?

  • Emphasizes musculoskeletal trauma, exercise science, and athletic optimization
  • Conducts physical assessments, orders imaging, diagnoses activity-related injuries, formulates treatment and rehabilitation strategies
  • Treats ligamentous injuries, muscular strains, tendon inflammation, overuse injuries, skeletal stress injuries, and head trauma
  • Uses conservative management (therapeutic injections, bracing, physical rehabilitation), exercise programming, and orthopedic surgical coordination
  • Also called: sports physician, athletic medicine specialist, team doctor, MD, DO
