What Is Sports Medicine?
Sports medicine is a specialized branch of healthcare that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries. It encompasses a wide range of services—from treating acute injuries like sprains and fractures to managing chronic conditions such as tendonitis or joint pain. The goal is not just to heal but to optimize performance and reduce the risk of future injuries.
