A sports medicine doctor is a doctor who has additional training in conditions that commonly affect athletes. These doctors assist their patients in the prevention, treatment, and management of a wide range of injuries. Some work in emergency departments. Others work in family medicine, paediatrics, or rehabilitation. Some sports medicine doctors are orthopaedic surgeons who specialise in bones and muscles (orthopedics). Keep in mind that sports medicine and orthopaedic sports medicine can be practised by both surgeons and non-surgeons. If you require surgical evaluation, look for a surgeon who is board-certified in orthopaedic sports medicine. Sports doctors serve more than just athletes. A sports injury can happen to anyone who exercises or plays sports on the weekends. Your primary care physician may be the first doctor you see. If he or she believes you require specialised care, you will almost certainly be referred to a sports medicine doctor.
