The practice of Sports Medicine involves the diagnosis, management and prevention of injuries and conditions related to sports, exercise and physical activity and is performed by a Sports Medicine Physician. Sports Medicine Physicians are medical doctors that have completed an additional specialized training, fellowship and national certifying examination, in sports and exercise medicine. In order to assist with a diagnosis, a Sports Medicine Physician can order, discuss and interpret tests results (e.g.: Ultrasound, MRI, CT scan and X-rays). They work closely with the multidisciplinary team to promote and maximize the rehabilitation process. Sports Medicine Physicians can provide patients with recommendations on the most appropriate rehabilitation program and treatment approach, provide advice on sport-specific training, nutrition and exercise, prescribe bracing or medications, as well as individualized guidelines for return to sport. They have extensive knowledge in sport safety, specific injury guidelines (e.g. concussions) and associated recommendations.
