Sports Medicine - Q&A
What is sports medicine?
Sports medicine is a medical discipline encompassing athletes’ treatments and rehabilitative practices. Ineffective or over training can lead to overuse injuries and breakdown, this can be avoided through education and proactive consulting with a sports medicine specialist.
The Rehab Docs offer a wide range of treatments that work alongside a clinical care plan or on their own. The goal of The Rehab Docs team is to decrease injury time by facilitating healing and strengthening as well as preventing future injury. Some injuries do not require an operation; instead, they can heal through physical therapy and rehabilitation. Others do need surgery but benefit from these services either prior to surgery or afterward.
The Rehab Docs have considerable experience diagnosing and treating various injuries common in athletes at all levels. They gain an understanding of your goals and intentions before developing a treatment plan specific to your injury type and severity.
