When should I speak with a sports medicine specialist?

Acute sports injuries happen suddenly, often when exercising, playing a sport, or completing compound movement activities. Symptoms of acute injuries include:

  • a bone or joint that appears out of place
  • muscle weakness or loss of movement
  • sudden pain
  • swelling

Chronic sports injuries worsen and develop through repetition and time, usually from regularly performing an activity or training too hard. Symptoms of chronic injuries include:

  • pain or a dull ache that persists even when you rest
  • swelling that does not go away
  • tenderness and pain when moving or exercising

What can I expect from my first sports medicine specialist appointment?
