Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment Related to Physical Activity
What is Sports Medicine?
Sports medicine is a specialized field of healthcare focused on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries related to sports and physical activity. It helps athletes and active individuals of all ages and skill levels—from professional athletes to those who exercise for fitness—achieve their goals, recover from injuries, and prevent future ones.
Why We Offer It
At OC Sports & Wellness, located in Orange County, CA, sports medicine isn’t just for elite athletes—it’s for anyone who wants to move better, feel stronger, recover faster, and get back to doing what they love. Whether you’re training for a race, recovering from an injury, or simply dealing with persistent niggles that won’t allow you to perform at your best, sports medicine offers a focused, proactive approach. It’s about more than “fixing” you—it’s about optimizing your support, protection, and performance so you can live life stronger, longer.
Our Unique Approach
In sports medicine, the assessment and treatment go beyond general medicine. We understand that your body isn’t just idle—it has demands: your sport, your movement patterns, your goals. Our team customizes your plan to your body, your sport or activity, and your ambitions.
How We Stand Apart
- We consider how your sport or activity places specific stresses on your muscles, bones, ligaments, and tendons..
- We craft treatment plans meant not just to heal, but to return you to peak performance..
- We apply advanced diagnostic tools and regenerative therapies when needed—such as ultrasound-guided injections, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), hyaluronic acid, and other state-of-the-art options.
What Counts as a “Sports Injury”?
It’s not just major injuries on the field—sports medicine covers a range of issues, from sudden traumas to wear-and-tear over time:
- Sudden injuries: e.g., sprains, fractures, torn ligaments
- Overuse injuries: e.g., tendonitis, shin splints, repetitive joint pain
- Conditions affecting athletes of any level—from weekend warriors to high-school and collegiate competitors
Some of the Most Common Injuries We See
- ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tears
