A sports medicine physician is familiar with the many injuries and conditions
common to various athletes. Athletes in similar professions are inclined
to encounter similar injuries. For example, pitchers are more inclined
to suffer elbow pains while soccer players receive more foot and ankle
injuries. Having treated others in your athletic profession before, a
sports medicine doctor has a broad range of experience to draw on when
making a diagnosis and prescribing treatment.
From conditioning, through injury treatment and rehabilitation, we offer truly comprehensive sports and physical medicine care. Contact us today if you are in need of a sports medicine physician.
