Sports Medicine Physician Consultation
Sports Medicine physicians have specialized training and skills that position them to be caregivers for active patients of all ages. They have an interest in the promotion of lifelong wellness and fitness, as well as in prevention, diagnosis and management of illness and injury. Many have completed further professional training, in the form of a Sport Medicine Fellowship and/or an additional university degree (Master’s or PhD level) in a related discipline such as sport medicine, exercise science etc.
The Canadian Academy of Sport and Exercise Medicine (CASEM) has developed a standardized and specific certification examination – the CASEM Diploma in Sport and Exercise Medicine. This is an objectively judged examination to assess competency to practice Sport Medicine. Within Canada this is a necessary credential to call oneself a Sport Medicine physician. CASEM has also developed a curriculum, outlining the knowledge base that such a physician should have.
Sports Medicine And Injury Relief
People most commonly turn to sports medicine after sustaining an injury. You’re in pain, looking for relief and recovery, and trying to find the motivation to push yourself to get there.
Sports physiotherapists and athletic trainers are trained to help you bounce back from your injury, with just as much strength (if not more!) than you had before the injury. They are dedicated to always helping you reach your peak, whatever that may be.
Sports Medicine And Athletic Training
Athletes, by nature, generally desire to push themselves to accomplish new goals.
Sometimes an athlete may master one sport, only to take on the challenge of mastering a new one. Olympic sprinters take on the slopes at the winter games, and college athletes win national titles in multiple sports for this exact reason.
With sports medicine, your goals never have to be definite. Our Dundas & Ancaster, ON sports physiotherapists and athletic trainers can help you reach the peak of your performance in one sport and then help you tackle the summit of another.
