Centre for Orthopaedics, Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy of Eastern Ontario
Sport medicine focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries involving the muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, bones, and movement system. While sport medicine is often associated with athletes, many patients who see a sport medicine physician are not competitive athletes.
Sport medicine can help people who are dealing with pain, injuries, overuse concerns, activity-related symptoms, or musculoskeletal problems that are affecting work, exercise, hobbies, or daily life.
At CORPEO, sport medicine care may support patients of different ages, activity levels, and goals. This can include people recovering from an injury, managing joint or tendon pain, dealing with a recurring concern, or looking for guidance on the next step in their care.
Depending on your condition, care may include an assessment, diagnosis, imaging recommendations, injections, bracing recommendations, activity guidance, and coordination with physiotherapy when appropriate.
Physiotherapy can also play an important role in recovery. A physiotherapy plan may help restore strength, mobility, balance, movement control, confidence, and function so you can return to the activities that matter most to you.
Sport medicine may help with a range of concerns, including:
A referral is required to book an appointment with a sport medicine physician. Referrals must come from a primary care physician, walk-in clinic physician, or nurse practitioner.
If you are unsure whether sport medicine is the right next step, or if you have questions about the referral process, please contact CORPEO. Our team can help guide you toward the appropriate next step.
CORPEO is proud to be associated with organizations and care networks that support patients, athletes, and active individuals in the Ottawa area.
