Staying active promotes healthy aging, and many athletes can enjoy their favorite sports for many years. Yet, getting older places you at a higher risk for injuries, and recovery can take longer than it did in your youth. Working with a sports medicine team helps you to get back on your feet faster and enjoy these benefits for taking care of your body.
To live a healthy life, you owe it to yourself and your family to ensure you are doing the best possible job of taking care of yourself. There are many reasons to see your doctor each year. Annual medical checkups help catch anything that needs attention before it becomes an issue.
There are over 100,000 Osteopathic Physicians in the United States, practicing medicine with the degree of D.O., or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. They constitute over 7% of active physicians in the United States and over 20% of medical students in training.
