What is sports medicine?
Sports medicine is a medical branch that handles physical fitness/performance as well as the treatment and prevention of sports related injuries. The medical experts involved in sports medicine often work together as a team. These team members can include orthopedic surgeons, sports physical therapists/physiotherapists, certified athletic trainers, physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists and SEM (Sports and Exercise Medicine) physicians.
In particular, orthopedic surgeons are focused on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, and bones.
