Santa Monica Bay Physicians
SPORTS MEDICINE
Due to our great climate and outstanding recreational opportunities people in Santa Monica and the West Los Angeles area tend to be avid athletes. Family physicians and internists are trained to evaluate sports injuries and to help develop programs to increase fitness levels or to recuperate from athletic injuries. Many of the SMBP docs are avid athletes themselves and understand the principles of training, fitness, treatment, competition, and recovery. Our physicians can be found playing and coaching soccer, kayaking, cycling, surfing, golfing, canoeing, hiking, swimming, running, playing tennis and pretty much any sport you probably play. Chances are good that if you come to an SMBP office you will find a doctor ready to treat your sports related injury who is familiar with your sport (and probably plays it, too). If you do need surgery we know the best orthopedists in town for particular types of injuries, which will help in returning you to your particular athletic pursuit. Plus, our Physical Therapy department will help you recover quickly. |
