FAQs β Sports Medicine Clinics in Canada
What does a sports medicine doctor do?
Sports medicine physicians diagnose and treat injuries related to physical activity and sport. They can perform diagnostic ultrasound, order X-rays and MRI, administer injections (cortisone, PRP), provide concussion management, and coordinate referrals to orthopedic surgeons or other specialists when required.
Do I need a referral to see a sports medicine doctor?
In most Canadian provinces, a referral from a family physician or nurse practitioner is required to see a specialist sports medicine physician under provincial health coverage. Some private sports medicine clinics offer direct booking for self-pay or extended health coverage.
What injuries require sports medicine rather than physiotherapy?
Complex fractures, ligament ruptures, tendon tears, stress fractures, concussions, and injuries that require imaging or injection therapy typically warrant sports medicine assessment. Physiotherapy is often prescribed alongside or following sports medicine treatment.
Can a sports medicine doctor prescribe kinesiology tape?
Sports medicine physicians typically refer patients to physiotherapy or athletic therapy for kinesiology tape application. However, many sports medicine clinics have in-house therapy staff who provide taping as part of comprehensive care.
How long does it take to get a sports medicine appointment in Canada?
Wait times vary significantly by location. Major urban centres with established sports medicine clinics may offer appointments within 1β2 weeks, while rural areas can have much longer waits. Private sports medicine clinics generally offer faster access.
What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and do sports medicine clinics offer it?
PRP therapy involves injecting a concentration of the patient's own platelets into injured tissue to promote healing. It is used for tendon injuries (Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff), ligament injuries, and osteoarthritis. Many Canadian sports medicine clinics offer PRP therapy as a non-surgical treatment option.
