Do Sports Medicine Physicians only treat competitive athletes?
No. An individual does not have to swing a racket, run down a track or shoot a basketball to get a sports injury. Rather, sports-type injuries can occur in everyday life, such as carrying a toddler up the stairs or lifting bags of topsoil while gardening. Sports medicine physicians are ideal physicians for the non-athlete as well and are excellent resources for the individual who wishes to stay active or become more active. For the “weekend warrior” or “industrial athlete” who experiences an injury, the same expertise used for the competitive athlete can be applied to return the individual as quickly as possible to full function. From hard-core sports injuries to recreational over-use injuries, Dr. Lorenc provides comprehensive care for patients of all ages and is committed to maximum healing and fast recovery.
