Is sports medicine only for athletes?

No. Sports medicine specialists are trained to diagnose and treat health issues or injuries in the bones, muscles or joints. Sports injuries are musculoskeletal injuries that tend to occur during exercise or when participating in sports activities. If you are not regularly active but suddenly begin to engage in physical activity or in a sport, it can increase your chances of getting a sports injury.
