Patient Story
“Dr. Patel made me feel like this was a problem that could be solved, making us feel 100 times better. I felt like this was a problem that could actually be resolved, and I wouldn’t be stuck with this forever.” And it was—with OCD knee surgery and physical therapy.
FAQs About Sports Medicine
Physical therapy is part of sports medicine and a crucial step in recovery from sports-related injuries. But sports medicine is a multidisciplinary practice—a team sport. A sports medicine team can be composed of primary care physicians, surgeons, neurologists, physiologists, athletic trainers, and more.
Although their approaches may differ, orthopedic specialists and sports medicine doctors often work together on sports-related injuries or conditions. Some sports medicine physicians perform orthopedic surgery, while others focus solely on non-surgical treatments like lifestyle changes, nutrition counseling, and fitness training.
At IBJI, our sports medicine physicians treat various sports-related illnesses and injuries. We offer pain management services and non-surgical treatments like custom orthotics, physical therapy, and weight management. Our team also includes experienced orthopedic surgeons when procedures like joint replacement or reconstruction are necessary
