"Dr. Katzman and his team performed above and beyond any other physician group I have ever met before. Another orthopedic group had put me through physical therapy, injections, epidurals, and were at a standstill. Mind you I was going through PT with a broken tailbone that was literally tearing me up inside. I went online one night and found Orthopedic & Laser Spine Surgery. I filled out their online questionnaire to apply for a free consultation, I was called within a couple of days. And from there an extremely logical and professional plan was put into action. I have had a desperately required surgery, and I have my life back. I am only three days from my surgery and I know the right thing was done. Dr. Katzman's team is extremely nice, caring, and professional. I had reservations about going to a doctor I had located on line, but he gave me my life back. I have no clue to where my health would be had I not found Dr. Katzman. Thank you so much, there are not enough words to express my gratitude. Sherri McGarry."

What is Sports Medicine?

Sports medicine is the specialty that promotes physical fitness and activity while managing, treating, and preventing injuries that happen during exercise or participation in sports. Sports medicine fosters wellness and fitness and works to inhibit injury. A sports medicine specialist may work with professional athletes, school sports teams, individuals who participate in sports on the weekend for fun, or someone who is just beginning to exercise for the first time. Although their main focus is on musculoskeletal function, sports medicine specialists also care for patients' full medical and nutritional needs as they relate to their active lifestyle.

Some examples of the kinds of injuries and issues that a sports medicine specialist might see in their work include:

Acute sports injuries (sprains, fractures)
Overuse injuries (tendonitis, bursitis)
Head injuries (concussion)
Heat injuries (heat stroke)
Athletes with chronic illness (asthma, diabetes, heart disease) and how their illness is affected by exercise
Nutrition and the use of supplements
Developing a safe exercise plan for obese or sedentary patients
Substance abuse of performance-enhancing drugs
Teaching proper form and technique to reduce the chance of injury

Sports medicine specialists often work closely with orthopedic specialists, and the scope of their work can have some overlap. The main distinction is that orthopedic specialists can perform surgery when it is needed, while sports medicine specialists focus on non-surgical solutions for injuries.

Whether they are the team physicians making sure every professional player is performing safely and at their best, or community specialists getting a player back in the game after a sprained ankle, sports medicine doctors are there to make sure people are in good condition to lead an active life.
