Sports Medicine Rehabilitation are practical management skills to the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries arising from sport and physical activity. It includes all the necessary skills to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal injuries in the physically active person.

In sports or player, the sprain in ankle are very common and sports injuries, particularly for stop-and-start running sports, field sports or outdoor adventure sports. Athletes often attempt to erupt the pain of a sprain, or revisit into sports quickly after a sprain which may increase the danger of re-injury. But knowing when to rest and how to rehab your sprain can help you recover more completely and prevent future problems. If you've got an ankle sprain it's important to act quickly.

Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program by which a person with cardiac problems regains his active physical life. This condition is associated with many athlete and sportspersons. As peoples from sports background normally have a very active life, especially in runners, swimmers and cyclists and sport activity consist of process of high blood flow and pressure and that is why always be on risk of heart related complication.

Sport Rehabilitators help people affected by pain, injury or illness involving the system. They help people of all ages to take care of their health and fitness, get over and stop injury and reduce pain using exercise, movement and manual based therapeutic interventions.

This aims to strengthen the functional ability and quality of life to those with physical impairments or disabilities affecting the brain, medulla spinalis, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. A physician having completed training during this field is mentioned as a physiatrist.

Physiatrists design comprehensive, patient treatment plans, and they are integral members of the care team. They utilize cutting-edge also as time-tested treatments to maximize function and quality of life for his or her patients, who can home in age from infants to octogenarians.

Practice Settings

PM&R physicians practice during a sort of clinical settings, including inpatient and outpatient facilities. They include neurological, musculoskeletal, rheumatologically and cardiovascular systems.

Some of the common diagnoses and populations seen by inpatient physiatrists include spinal cord injury, brain injury (traumatic and non-traumatic), stroke, multiple sclerosis, polio, burn care, and musculoskeletal and pediatric rehabilitation. Inpatient physiatrists are those who trained to manage these issues using collaborative team skills and work with social workers and other allied health therapists like physical, occupational and speech.

Outpatient physiatrists treat conditions like orthopaedic injuries, spine-related pain and dysfunction, occupational injuries and overuse syndromes, neurogenic bowel/bladder, bedsore management, spasticity management, and chronic pain.

Conditions & Treatments

PM&R physicians/physiatrists help to treat patients suffering from short/long term physical and/or cognitive impairments, neurological conditions (stroke, brain injury or medulla spinalis injury) and disabilities that result from musculoskeletal conditions like back/neck pain, or sports or work injuries, or medical other conditions. The goal of these psychiatrist is to decrease pain and enhance performance without surgery.
