What do Sports Medicine Physiatrists do?
Sports medicine physiatrists are medical doctors specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation, diagnosing, treating, and preventing non-surgical musculoskeletal injuries in athletes and other active individuals.
They provide comprehensive care using therapies like exercise, injections, and medications to improve function, manage pain, and help patients return to their activities.
They emphasize injury prevention for long-term well-being.
Responsabilities
Diagnosis and Treatment: They diagnose sports-related conditions, such as running injuries, sprains, strains, and concussions.
Non-Surgical Interventions: Physiatrists manage conditions without surgery using a variety of methods, including:
Therapeutic Exercise: Prescribing targeted exercises to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility.
Injections: Administering joint injections, trigger point injections, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Medications: Prescribing medications to manage pain and other symptoms.
Adaptive Devices: Recommending orthotics and prosthetics to support recovery.
Rehabilitation Programs: Develop and integrate rehabilitation programs, often in coordination with physical therapists, to maximize function and restore patients to their desired activity levels.
Injury Prevention: Educate athletes on proper techniques, conditioning, and lifestyle modifications to prevent future injuries.
Holistic Approach: They treat the “whole person,” looking beyond the injury to identify and address underlying issues affecting performance and overall physical function.
