. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/6tb34e7 . .As hospitals stare down a future of budget cuts and declining reimbursement, more figure to turn to sports medicine clinics as a means of financial support.
.Sports medicine centers have catered to high school athletes for years, but the big driver behind their expected growth in the coming years is very familiar to anyone in the health industry: aging baby boomers.
.Generally speaking, todays boomers are far more active than seniors have typically been in the past, said Dr. David Geier Jr., an orthopedic surgeon who is director of sports medicine with the Medical University of South Carolina. MUSC started its sports medicine program about six years ago.
.Athletes used to stop when they got to be around 35 or 40, but now regularly you see 65- and 70-year-olds running marathons or playing tennis, Geier said. Being told you cant run anymore, or you cant play golf anymore isnt acceptable.
.Sports medicine clinics typically employ a number of different types of health professionals including: orthopedic surgeons, primary care doctors who specialize in sports medicine, nutritionists, athletic trainers and physical therapists.
.Injuries treated at sports medicine clinics can range from sprains to concussions to stress fractures, and often involve the knees or shoulders joints that are particularly vulnerable during athletics.
