Sports medicine is a subspecialty of orthopedic surgery that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of illnesses and injuries associated with physical exercise and sports. It includes doctors, physical therapists, sports trainers, and other medical experts in a multidisciplinary approach. Sports medicine practitioners treat a wide range of conditions, such as concussions, musculoskeletal injuries, illnesses linked to activity, and performance enhancement. From amateurs to top competitors, they work with athletes of all skill levels, offering individualised treatment to improve performance, avoid injuries, and enable a safe and prompt return to action following an accident. To support long-term athletic health, sports medicine also places a strong emphasis on educating athletes about appropriate training methods, diet, and general wellness.
