A sports medicine doctor is a medical professional who has received additional training in conditions that commonly affect athletes. These physicians help their patients with the prevention, treatment, and management of a variety of injuries. Some work in emergency rooms. Others work in areas such as family medicine, paediatrics, and rehabilitation. Some sports medicine specialists are orthopaedic surgeons who focus on bones and muscles (orthopedics). Keep in mind that both surgeons and non-surgeons can practise sports medicine and orthopaedic sports medicine. If you require surgical evaluation, look for an orthopaedic sports medicine board-certified surgeon. Sports doctors help people other than athletes. Anyone who exercises or participates in sports on weekends can sustain a sports injury. The first doctor you see may be your primary care physician. If he or she thinks you need specialised care, he or she will almost certainly refer you to a sports medicine doctor.
