Getting you back in action so you can live life to the fullest

When to Visit an Orthopedic Sports Medicine Doctor?

While these specialists often assist with serious, acute injuries, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation for minor pains as well. Here are a few signs that you will benefit from sports medicine services:

Acute Injury: You can identify the moment when an injury happened. If you walk off the sports field with pain or mobility concerns in a specific part of the body, then it’s critical to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Prompt treatment helps to minimize long-term issues from the injury.
Chronic Pain: How often does chronic pain impact your performance in the game? If you are living with chronic pain, it’s time to see an orthopedic specialist to get to the root of the problem.
Old Injuries: If you have old sports injuries that weren’t properly treated, how are these injuries affecting you today? Orthopedic sports medicine experts can assist with these old injuries, helping you reduce the impact of these injuries in your everyday life.
Performance Goals: Sports medicine doctors can provide a proactive approach to improving your performance. Talk to a doctor about your goals and concerns to find out treatments and training methods that will help to optimize your skills.
Degenerative Issues: Degenerative conditions take a toll over time. Not only do they affect your sports performance, but it’s vital to stay ahead of these conditions to improve your overall lifestyle.
