Can sports medicine reduce the risk of future injuries?
No, you don’t need to be an athlete to take advantage of sports medicine care. Whether you’re returning to fitness, recovering from an injury, or looking to improve your mobility, sports medicine supports active lifestyles at every level.
These experts care for a wide range of issues, from acute injuries like fractures and muscle strains to chronic overuse conditions such as tendonitis or stress injuries. They also help manage medical concerns—like asthma or metabolic conditions—that affect one's ability to stay active.
Physical therapists specialize in rehabilitation and helping patients regain movement after surgery or injury. Sports medicine physicians, however, are trained to diagnose and medically manage injuries and often lead a patient’s overall recovery plan, which may include physical therapy.
Healing time depends on the nature and severity of the injury, the treatment approach, and your personal health. Your doctor will discuss a custom recovery plan to help you understand what to expect.
Yes. One of the core goals of sports medicine is injury prevention. Providers can assess your movement, review your training methods, and offer personalized guidance to help you stay active safely and reduce the chance of recurring issues.
