Sports Medicine

The sports medicine branch of healthcare covers physical fitness, including treatment and prevention of injuries for those in sports or who exercise often. While many professional athletes use sports medicine, it’s for everyone in sports, from children to adults, including those who exercise regularly. Injuries are a common problem with both exercise and sports that require dedicated comprehensive care. 

sports medicine consists of any care delivery type with a focus on prevention and rehabilitation for sports-related injuries. This means there are multiple specialties and an array of provider types that fall under this category of care. 

Overall, sports medicine encompasses four main objectives: injury prevention, diet and nutrition, exercise, and injuries or medical conditions. By covering all aspects of sports medicine, doctors can help patients stay healthy in all aspects while helping to educate them to prevent other issues. 

A common misconception about sports medicine is that it is a niche for strictly professional athletes. Sports medicine is actually utilized and encouraged for those of all age ranges and activity levels. Sports medicine may involve a combination of various specialties working toward the goal of optimal physical performance for their patient. This may be inclusive of  injury prevention and rehabilitation, training, and nutrition plans.
