Sports Medicine Physicians in Boynton Beach, FL
You don't have to be a professional athlete to be susceptible to sports injuries. Recreational athletes and weekend-warriors, and any physically active person can be susceptible to sports-related injuries. The most common sports injuries are sprains and strains, fractures, and concussions. Sports injuries can result from accidents; while others are due to poor training practices, improper equipment, lack of conditioning or insufficient warm-up and stretching.
Fortunately, most sports injuries can be treated effectively, and those who suffer them can return to a satisfying level of physical activity once they heal. Even better, many sports injuries can be prevented if people take proper precautions.
The board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic doctors at Personalized Orthopedics of the Palm Beaches, have extensive experience and training in treating sports injuries. Some orthopedic physicians are also sports medicine specialists, meaning they have received additional specialized fellowship training in sports medicine.
