Sports Medicine

The definition of sports medicine is broad - working with people of all ages, from elite athletes to weekend warriors and little leaguers. In addition, sports medicine doctors are committed to educating patients and communities regarding fitness and wellness, with a focus on prevention of disease and injury. Sports medicine physicians treat health problems in active people and athletes. This includes musculoskeletal problems (non-operative orthopedics) and medical problems in athletes (like exercise-induced asthma, diabetes, heart problems, skin conditions, concussions).
