Sports medicine is not just for the competitive athlete whether patients are running a marathon, biking their favorite trail, or taking their first steps toward a healthier life, a sports medicine physician understands each person and is uniquely qualified to help them achieve their personal best.
Sports medicine physicians are ideal providers for active individuals or those who wish to be more active. The same expertise used to treat a competitive athlete can often be applied to the average athlete who experiences injury.
Both are well-trained in musculoskeletal medicine. Sports medicine physicians specialize in the non-operative treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. Orthopedic surgeons are also trained in the operative treatment of these conditions. However, approximately 90 percent of all sports injuries are non-surgical. Sports medicine physicians can maximize non-operative treatment, guide appropriate referrals to physical/occupational therapy, and, if necessary, refer to an orthopedic surgeon.
