The discipline of sports medicine involves improving athletic performance, rehabilitating injuries and preventing injuries in the future. Many of Summit Medical Group’s sports medicine specialists have advanced training and experience with professional, collegiate and high school athletes. They use their knowledge to improve performance and treat injuries in athletes and anyone with an active lifestyle.
Athletes have considerations that many members of the general public do not. They are more prone to overuse injuries from repetitive movements and can be at increased risk for bone fractures, ligament sprains, muscle and tendon strains and ruptures. Athletes need medical professionals that can not only treat these injuries but also help prevent them, as well. That’s why athletes choose Summit Medical Group.
