Sports medicine physicians are doctors who specialize in the treatment of injuries and illnesses that occur in athletes. They treat a wide range of conditions, including:

Musculoskeletal injuries: This includes sprains, strains, tears, fractures, and other injuries to the bones, muscles, and joints.

Overuse injuries: These are injuries that occur from repetitive use of a body part, such as the knee or shoulder.

Chronic conditions: Sports medicine physicians can also treat chronic conditions that affect athletes, such as asthma, diabetes, and heart disease.
