Sports Medicine
Sports injuries are common for both amateur and professional athletes leading active, on-the-go lifestyles. Sports medicine serves a dual purpose treating existing injuries and helping prevent future ones.
How We Help
From first response to full recovery, our doctors and allied health partners support you at every stage of an injury.
For the first 48 hours after an injury, initial management with rest and ice (the RICE method) helps reduce pain and swelling.
For persistent injuries, suspected fractures, or severe pain, a medical review is warranted, with relevant imaging and appropriate referrals organised as needed.
Specialised sports medicine doctors can help optimise performance and reduce the long-term effects of injury. Allied Health Services Australia provide a range of services within our medical centre, with professionals who design an appropriate rehabilitation program.
