SPORTS MEDICINE Sports medicine involves the treatment, recovery and prevention of athletic-related injuries. However, with today’s active lifestyles, sports medicine now applies to a broader section of the population and not just athletes. No one has the time to be injured nor the time to recover from an injury. Everyone deserves a quick diagnosis and fast recovery. The key advantage of an orthopaedic surgeon sports medicine specialist is his/her expertise which allows a quick and accurate diagnosis; specialized, efficient and proven conservative care; focused and highly successful operative management; and aggressive rehabilitation and recovery programs. This expedited and accelerated approach to diagnosis and treatment can be applied to all musculoskeletal injuries of the knee, shoulder, ankle, hip, elbow, wrist and hand, neck and back.
