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. ChristianaCare Sports and Lifestyle 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.
