What is Sports Medicine?
Sports Medicine refers to the type of treatment philosophy we employ rather than the type of individual we treat. While we do see competitive athletes and "weekend warriors," many of our patients do not belong to either of these categories. It is not a requirement to be an athlete to visit us.
Sports Medicine evolved as a medical specialty from the need of athletes to quickly rehabilitate injuries and get back into action as soon as possible—while returning to a very high functional activity level. Athletes were returning to vigorous levels of competition much sooner than the general population was even able to return to standard activities. Today, we employ this treatment philosophy with all our patients—whether their goal is to run a 5K, to ascend a flight of stairs, or to lift your 8-month-old child. We understand the desire to quickly (and safely) return to regular activities.
