Preventing Injuries With Sports Medicine

Sports medicine can be proactive, preventative care that allows you to push yourself harder while playing sports. You can work with a treatment provider to optimize your nutrition and learn stretching and strengthening exercises to improve your health. A sports medicine provider can talk to you about any injuries you may have, and discuss any supportive therapies that can help to minimize injuries. You might need a brace to support a knee tendon, or try taping if you have pain while running. A sports medicine provider will have the skills you want to prepare you for playing sports with fewer injuries.

Your Sports Medicine Treatment in Family Medicine

If you are concerned about getting hurt while playing sports, pay attention to any aches and pains that develop while you are exercising. While a small strain may not be a big deal, this can lead to bigger problems if you don't give yourself the rest you need to recover. You can work with your provider to discuss your treatment needs when you have injuries, and learn strengthening exercises that allow you to overcome these types of injuries. When you address small issues with your health, they are less likely to become more extensive injuries.
