Sports Medicine in Georgia

Sports medicine involves the treatment and prevention of muscle, bone, and joint injuries. Sports medicine also includes counseling on nutrition, exercise, concussions, and athletes with chronic or acute medical illnesses. A sports medicine physician can provide comprehensive medical care for athletes, sports teams, or any individual who is pursuing a healthy lifestyle. At Reddy Medical Group, we have a sports medicine provider with a background in both adult and pediatric medicine that is board certified in sports medicine. Sports medicine is different from orthopedic surgery. While both specialties are trained in the management of musculoskeletal medicine, sports medicine physicians specialize in the non-operative treatment of these conditions. A sports medicine physician can help you maximize non-operative treatment since approximately 90% of all sports injuries do not require surgery.
