Sports Medicine at Christiana Care
Not Just for Athletes
When most people hear the term sports medicine, they think of athletes and sports teams. The truth is sports medicine is not just for athletes playing team sports; it’s also for anyone who enjoys an active lifestyle or wants to be more active. Christiana Care Sports Medicine physicians are here to help you pursue your goals for athletics and physical activity. They can help you maximize your performance, prevent or recover from injuries, and overcome physical challenges you may face at home or at work, such as knee, shoulder or foot pain. No matter what your activity – walking, bicycling, football, tennis, golf, lifting on the job, or running after your kids – we are ready to be your partner in maintaining good health and fitness, and preventing injuries.
Why Sports Medicine?
We are specialists who work with people of all ages to prevent and treat injuries and illness that can result from athletics, exercise or simply living an active, healthy lifestyle.
