Sports Medicine

Sports medicine is the medical discipline that focuses specifically on neuro-musculoskeletal injuries related to physical activity.

Its knowledge of exercise physiology, neuro-musculoskeletal diagnosis and associated medical treatments allows for optimal management of injuries related to exercise. A sports medicine physician can evaluate conditions such as tendinitis, sprains, muscle strains, spinal pain, concussions, and metabolic or nutritional disorders related to physical activity. They can also perform pre-participation assessments before engaging in sports or exercise.

Finally, the physician may recommend different treatment approaches ranging from physiotherapy to injection therapies and, when necessary, surgery. They can also guide you toward a safe and effective return to activity.
