Sports Medicine Specialist (en-US)
A sports medicine specialist is a physician (often an orthopedic surgeon or a primary care doctor with additional training) who focuses on diagnosing and treating injuries and conditions related to sports and physical activity. They commonly manage issues such as sprains, strains, tendon injuries, concussions, overuse injuries (like tendinitis), and joint or back problems. They may also help with return-to-play planning, performance-related health concerns, and prevention strategies (training load, biomechanics, and recovery).

What they typically do
Sports medicine specialists evaluate symptoms, review medical and activity history, and may order imaging (e.g., X-ray or MRI) or refer to physical therapy. Treatment can include rehabilitation plans, medications when appropriate, bracing or injections in select cases, and structured guidance for safe progression back to sport. They often coordinate care with athletic trainers, physical therapists, and coaches.
