What Is Sports Medicine?
Sports medicine is the branch of medicine focused on preventing, diagnosing, and treating injuries tied to physical activity. What sets it apart from general orthopedic care is the emphasis on non-surgical, performance-minded recovery, for weekend warriors and competitive athletes alike.
When Is Sports Medicine Recommended?
If you have a fresh injury, a nagging overuse problem, pain that is holding back your performance, or you need clearance to return to sport after surgery, sports medicine is built for exactly that. It helps athletes at every level, along with active adults working through activity-related pain.
Conditions Treated with Sports Medicine
Our sports medicine team diagnoses and treats a wide range of activity-related and musculoskeletal injuries, including:
-
Sprains and ligament injuries
-
Muscle strains and tears
-
Tendinitis and overuse injuries
-
Fractures and stress fractures
-
Concussions and head injuries
-
Joint pain (knee, shoulder, hip, and ankle)
-
Back and spine injuries related to sports
Our Sports Medicine Approach
Every patient receives a thorough evaluation, followed by a personalized treatment plan and ongoing support.
Evaluate
Your physician examines your injury, reviews your activity level, and pinpoints what's limiting your performance to set the right goals for your recovery.
Treat
Your plan is built around your specific injury and goals, drawing on options like diagnostic imaging, injection therapies, and coordination with physical therapy and pain management.
Support
Your physician tracks your progress and adjusts the plan as you heal, working alongside other providers at Northeast Spine and Sports Medicine to guide you back to activity.
Meet Our Sports Medicine Providers
Whatever your goal is, getting back on the field, out of pain, or back to the activities you love, each of our providers takes a personal approach to getting you there.
