Sports medicine is a field that deals specifically with the study of and the treatment of sports-related injuries. Sports medicine doctors often focus on diagnosing and treating sports injuries, helping athletes prevent these injuries, and sport training to improve strength and stamina.

Someone who specializes in sports medicine spends time in school learning about and training in the field. A sports medicine doctor most commonly deals with injuries in the shoulders, knees, ankles, and wrists that are the result of an athlete’s repetitive motions in a particular sport. They also see a lot of bone fractures. It is important for an injured athlete to see someone with sports medicine training so they can get care that allows them to continue playing the sport they love.
