Sport and Exercise Consultation
Sports Medicine Physicians specialize in the non-operative treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. Orthopedic surgeons are also trained in the operative treatment of these conditions. However, approximately 90% of all sports injuries are non-surgical. The Sports Medicine Physician can maximize non-operative treatment, guide appropriate referrals to physical and occupational therapies, and if necessary, expedite a referral to an orthopedic/sports surgeon.
Regular physical activity, weight control, and lifestyle modification are key areas of focus in the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Our Sport and Exercise Medicine Physicians have specialized training and experience to counsel you on the benefits of such modifications with respect to your musculoskeletal issues and help develop strategies to implement these changes in a way that leads to long term functional improvement.
ALL OF OUR SPORTS MEDICINE PHYSICIANS ARE SPECIALISTS AND TO SEE A SPECIALIST IN ONTARIO, A REFERRAL IS REQUIRED FROM A PHYSICIAN OR NURSE PRACTITIONER.
PLEASE NOTE: REFERRALS CAN BE SENT VIA FAX OR THROUGH THE OCEAN PORTAL.
