Athletes push their bodies to the limit both off and on the field through rigorous training and competition. This can be extremely taxing on the musculoskeletal system, potentially resulting in pain, strain, and injury.
Athletes Require The Best Care
When this occurs, the athlete requires a professional with specialized training and experience diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating a sports-related injury. The providers at Hampton Roads Orthopaedics Spine & Sports Medicine have the experience to know when to hold an athlete back and when to push them to work harder.
Training In Sports Medicine
Sports medicine specialists have extensive training in the non-operative prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal illness and injury. An orthopaedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine is also educated in the non-operative prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal illness and injury, with the added expertise of operative management of those conditions when conservative treatment fails. An orthopaedic sports medicine specialist is a comprehensive provider for sports-related concerns, from diagnosing to treating to rehabilitation of illness and injury.
Sports Injuries
So what should you do if you experience sports-related strain or injury? Many conditions can be treated with rest and conservative measures. By seeking the advice of an orthopaedic surgeon with experience in sports medicine early, you can get the care you need to get back onto the field quickly.
