Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy

Specializing in the treatment of athletes and physically active individuals, the team at Art Of Medicine Pain Specialists has extensive education in musculoskeletal medicine and neuroscience. Our doctors treat injuries such as muscle, ligament, tendon and bone problems, but may also treat chronic illnesses that can affect physical performance, such as asthma and diabetes. We also advise you on managing and preventing future injuries.

Physical therapy is the treatment of disease, injury, or deformity by physical methods such as massage, heat and cold, electrical, laser and light, ultrasound treatment, and exercise rather than by drugs or surgery. PT may be an option to treat your chronic pain, and working with a doctor or therapy assistant has been shown to help chronic pain sufferers improve their function while decreasing or eliminating their pain. Physical therapy tackles the physical side of the inflammation, stiffness, and soreness with exercise, manipulation, and massage, but it also works to help the body heal itself by encouraging the production of the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals.
