FAQ

When should I seek urgent care for a sports injury?

Seek urgent evaluation for suspected fractures, dislocations, severe swelling, inability to bear weight, loss of sensation, or rapidly worsening pain. For life-threatening symptoms, call 911 or go to an emergency department.

What does primary care sports medicine treat?

Primary care sports medicine commonly evaluates and treats non-surgical injuries involving muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and bones, along with some degenerative musculoskeletal conditions.

Do I need a referral or prior authorization for sports medicine?

Requirements vary by insurance plan and clinic. Check whether your plan requires a primary-care referral or prior authorization before scheduling.

Should I choose sports medicine or an orthopedic surgeon?

Sports medicine is generally suited to evaluation and non-surgical treatment, while an orthopedic surgeon is the appropriate specialist to discuss an injury that may require surgery.
