What is Sport & Exercise Medicine?
Sport & Exercise Medicine doctors manage a huge range of injuries and medical conditions affecting elite athletes, amateur sportsmen and the general population. Our specialists treat acute or chronic sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions like arthritis. They can help prevent further injury and reoccurrence and guide a rehabilitation programme to aid full recovery and a successful return to sport and activity.
Our doctors use fluoroscopic x-ray and ultrasound guidance at most Blackberry Clinics to aid accurate diagnosis and injections. They will refer for MRI or surgery if necessary. Exercise Medicine consultations are offered, using exercise as a health tool to drive health improvement.
