A sports doctor – or a sports medicine specialist – is a physician who is uniquely trained to treat sports injuries, restore strength and mobility, and help prevent future injuries from occurring. If you have sustained an injury during physical activity and want to bounce back as quickly as possible, consulting with a sports doctor is a good idea. These professionals diagnose and treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including but not limited to:
- Joint sprains
- Tendinitis
- Muscle strains
- Neck and back soreness
- Shin splints
- Bone fractures
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries
- Labral tears
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Tennis or golfer’s elbow
- Achilles tendon injuries
- Degenerative conditions like arthritis
