What is orthopedic sports medicine?

Orthopedic means a focus on treating musculoskeletal issues including the joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves.

Sports medicine is not a specific branch of medicine, rather it includes a group of health care professionals from a variety of disciplines that focus on the health of athletes.

Together, orthopedic sports medicine is the diagnosis, injury prevention, and restoration through medical care and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal structures for athletes. Orthopedic sports medicine specialists focus on:

  • Diagnosis and treatment of sports-related injuries.
  • Conditioning and training athletes.
  • Providing fitness advice.
  • Providing dietary and nutrition advice.

An estimated 8.6 million Americans experience a sports injury each year, according to the CDC, but they are preventable and treatable.

With a focus on soft tissue biomechanics, BackFit Health + Spine can provide non-surgical treatment plan options that can get you back in the game faster.
