FAMILY PRACTICE :: Sports Medicine
Sports Medicine is the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports, exercise, and recreational-related injuries, as well as athletic performance enhancement and injury prevention. Over 95% of sports medicine injuries are non-surgical and can be diagnosed and treated by a primary care physician.
Fellowship trained sports medicine physicians receive additional education beyond residency and are an excellent resource for common or complex sports and activity-related injury, illness, or other performance challenges. They also commonly provide care to university, amateur, and professional athletes, teams, and clubs.
If injuries or illnesses remain undiagnosed, untreated, or unrehabilitated, negative consequences can result, including: deformity, muscle imbalances, arthritis, chronic pain, insomnia, depression, anxiety, poor performance, and increased risk of new injury or re-injury.
But don’t worry: if you have a sports or activity-related injury or would like to prevent injuries from occurring, Dr. Craig Phelps and Kimberly Brabentz are here to help you.
