Sports medicine is one of the newer areas of specialization among the health-care professions. Developing naturally from orthopaedics, sports medicine exists to help both professional and amateur athletes recover from injuries and get back to their games. Sports-medicine doctors engage in rehabilitative therapies as well as surgery, working with patients of all ages and activity levels.
Many of the injuries seen in sports are not common in other activities. Torn ligaments, ruptured tendons and hairline fractures in unusual places are all issues sports-medicine doctors deal with on a regular basis. The treatment for each injury may vary from person to person, depending on age, overall physical condition and desire to engage in sports again.
