Participating in sports is a great way to keep healthy and active, but it can also be hard on the body.

  • Overuse injuries (like rotator cuff and other forms of tendonitis, stress fractures)

Non-musculoskeletal concerns that can be addressed by sports medicine specialists include:

  • Injury prevention
  • Concussion (mild traumatic brain injury) and other head injuries
  • Athletes with chronic or acute illness (including asthma and diabetes)
  • Exercise prescription for patients who want to increase their fitness levels
  • “Return to play” decisions for the sick or injured athlete
  • Recommendations on safe strength-training and conditioning exercises
