What is a Sport Medicine Physician?

A sports medicine physician is a specialised healthcare professional with extensive training in addressing issues related to the musculoskeletal system, which consists of bones, muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues. These physicians focus on treating injuries resulting from active lifestyles, catering to both athletes and non-athletes.

How do sports medicine physicians differ from other healthcare professionals who treat musculoskeletal issues?

Sports medicine physicians differ from other healthcare professionals who treat musculoskeletal issues in that they have specialised training specifically in sports-related injuries and conditions. While orthopaedic surgeons also treat musculoskeletal problems, sports medicine physicians typically have a broader focus on the non-surgical management of injuries and conditions related to physical activity.

They are trained to provide comprehensive care tailored to athletes and individuals with active lifestyles, which may involve preventive measures, rehabilitation techniques, performance enhancement strategies, and interdisciplinary collaboration with coaches and other healthcare providers.
