Sports Medicine is, very simply, the medical treatment of athletes. There are many unique aspects to this medical field. The injuries are often ‘sport specific’ and there is a desire to return to full play earlier. Also, the high demand of sports related activities creates additional challenges to the treatment and rehabilitation of the athlete.

The newest and most important area of sports medicine, however, is the emphasis on sport specific conditioning and prevention. An ounce of prevention is truly worth a pound of cure. There is good scientific evidence showing that conditioning and training in the right way can prevent injuries.
Dr. Schram is very interested in the area of sports conditioning and injury prevention and invites you to take a moment to learn more about this exciting area of sports medicine.
