"Whether a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, sports are fun but with intense play, sometimes comes injury. While most sports injuries heal themselves, some are stubborn and don't seem to get better certainly not as quickly as you desire. While many physicians' answer to sports injury is simply to "stay off it," studies show that many sports injuries heal faster with the proper return to exercise. physiatrist is a specialist medical doctor that commonly evaluates and manages a variety of sports related injuries when the "normal course" of treatment by a general physician sends someone to a physical therapist, and they don't get better. A physiatrist is the specialist that is seen for the unique injury, or that athlete that won't accept the answer to "stay off it." A physiatrist is the specialist that is called upon to review the cause for the recurring sports injury, to make recommendations for strengthening and conditioning to reduce the likelyhood of reccurrence again. The physiatrist manages sports injuries without a surgical approach using conservative treatment unless surgery is absolutely necessary."
