Frequently Asked Questions on Sports Medicine
Have questions? We’re help you.
Sports medicine focuses specifically on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries related to athletic activity and physical performance. Unlike general orthopaedics, it emphasizes getting patients—athletes or active individuals—safely back to activity with specialized, sport-specific approaches.
When to See a Sports Medicine Specialist
If you’ve suffered an acute injury, are dealing with chronic pain from repetitive motion, or feel limited in your training or performance, it’s time to consult a specialist. Early intervention can often prevent the need for surgery — or optimize your recovery if it’s required.
