What is a Sports Medicine Physician?
A board certified Sports Medicine Physician has first completed a residency in Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine or Pediatrics then has gone on to complete a one or two-year fellowship in Sports Medicine. A specialty examination in Sports Medicine must also be passed before the physician can receive a Certificate of Added Qualification (CAQ) in Sports Medicine.
Sports Medicine Physicians treat a wide variety of injuries and illnesses common to athletes and other active people. The underlying belief is that physical activity is essential to the health of all people, and Sports Physicians are dedicated to helping people achieve and maintain an active, healthy lifestyle. Athletes represent a special population of active individuals with additional goals and physical demands specific to their chosen sport. Having a complete understanding of the nature of sport is needed to safely return an injured athlete to play as soon as possible or to optimize the athlete’s fitness in order to reach full potential. Sports Medicine Physicians are specially trained to do these things.
Other active individuals can benefit from the same treatment principles used to return high-profile athletes to play. The weekend warrior with a shoulder injury from softball or a sore knee from running will benefit just as much as an Olympic marathoner or collegiate baseball player. In addition, there is much to offer the “industrial athlete” and many employers have recognized the value of comprehensive treatment of their injured workers in order to speed their return to work.
