Sports Medicine Is Not Just for Athletes

A sports medicine doctor is a medical specialist who focuses on injuries that affect the musculoskeletal system, a vast and complex network of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments that work together to support the body’s weight and facilitate movement. As you might imagine, musculoskeletal injuries can affect just about anyone, regardless of their physical fitness or activity level.

Certain musculoskeletal injuries are more common in some sports than others, but those most frequently treated by sports medicine doctors include:

Ankle sprains
Muscle strains
Bone fractures
Joint dislocations
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears
Knee cartilage injuries
Shoulder instability
Rotator cuff tears
Tendinitis
Bursitis

Any form of physical activity carries a risk of injury. If you play sports, you can reduce your risk by warming up, drinking plenty of water, using proper form and equipment, getting sufficient rest, and consulting with a sports medicine doctor.
