Immediate Access to a DMC Sports Medicine Specialist!
A Sports Medicine Specialist is a physician who is trained to prevent, diagnose, and treat various musculoskeletal problems and other injuries or issues related to sports and exercise. A Sports Medicine specialist is usually a primary care physician or orthopedist who has extra training in sports medicine. Patients do not have to be athletes to be seen by a sports medicine doctor. In fact, sports medicine specialists evaluate and manage a variety of conditions, for example: arthritis, back pain, tendonitis, concussions, and exercise-induced asthma, just to name a few. DMC Sports Medicine Specialists see everyone as an athlete, but understand that all are at different levels.

The Doc's Report
DMC Sports Medicine Specialist, Tariq Awan, talks about common ailments in athletes.
Condition: Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is an overuse injury affecting affecting the elbow. Although it is often called tennis elbow, it is a common condition that can occur with any activities that involve repetitive use of the wrist or elbow. The injury involves irritation or inflammation of the tendons of your forearm muscles attach to the bony prominence on the outside of your elbow (lateral epicondyle). Pain can also spread into your forearm and wrist.
Patients often present with pain on the outside aspect of the elbow which can radiate into the forearm. The pain is often exacerbated with bending the wrist and certain activities such as shaking hands or turning a doorknob. A majority of cases will resolve with activity modification and rare cases can lead to persistent pain and disability from work and sports.
Common treatments for tennis elbow include ice, anti-inflammatory pain medication and physical therapy. Patients should see their doctor if self-care steps such as rest, ice and use of over-the-counter pain relievers don't ease the elbow pain and tenderness.
