A sports medicine specialist can help you recover from injuries related to sports, exercise or physical activity. Sports medicine isn’t just for athletes. If you are dealing with an acute or chronic issue related to your joints, muscles or nerves which prevents you from doing the things you enjoy, then a consultation with a sports medicine physician may be beneficial.

Sports medicine physicians are experts in diagnosing musculoskeletal injuries and providing patients with an individualized treatment plan. Seeing a sports medicine physician will allow you to get back to a pain free life quickly and reduce the risk of future injury.

Common conditions that a sports medicine physician will see include strains and sprains, tendonitis, ligament and tendon tears, osteoarthritis and concussions. We use various treatments that include physical rehabilitation, medications, bracing as well as interventional procedures such as ultrasound-guided injections (corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid) or trigger-point injections.

Sports medicine consultations are covered by OHIP.
