Sports Physicians are doctors with specialist training in sports injuries and illnesses. They hold the qualification of Fellow of the Australasian College of Sports Physicians. The title that indicates this qualification is FACSP.

Sports Physicians can accurately diagnosis complex sporting injuries and their causes. They may refer for investigations from x-rays to CT scans and blood tests to help confirm diagnosis.

Once the diagnosis is made our Sports Physician can advise on treatment and arrange for the appropriate referrals if they are required.

This may involve:

• Prescription of medications
• Injection of joints
• Advice regarding return to sporting activity
• Referral to Orthopaedic Surgeons, Physiotherapists and Dietitians as required
