Do Sports Med doctors only help athletes? 

If your favorite activity has begun to hurt, it may be time to see a Sports Medicine physician. In this episode of Inside Scope, Dr. Daniel Haight talks with orthopedic surgeons Dr. Eric Wicks and Dr. Colton Faza about how they help patients return to sports, recreational activities, or physical work without pain. Unlike those with an acute injury, chronic pain sufferers may put off seeing a sports med doctor – which could mean a longer healing time. This episode stresses whether you’re a serious athlete or a weekend warrior, there’s no reason to play through the pain.
