Sports Medicine in Northern New Jersey
Care for Activity-Related Injuries and Movement Concerns
At Bergen Medical Associates in northern New Jersey, Sports Medicine focuses on helping individuals recover from movement-related injuries, restore function, and safely return to activity.
What Is Sports Medicine?
Sports Medicine at Bergen Medical Associates brings together physicians from multiple specialties, including Orthopedics, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Podiatry, and Rheumatology. Using a whole-body approach, our providers evaluate how injuries and conditions impact physical function and movement.
By understanding how the body responds to injury and stress, our team works collaboratively to help patients recover, improve mobility, and reduce the risk of future injury. Sports Medicine care also provides guidance on injury prevention, activity modification, and rehabilitative strategies to support safe and lasting movement.
What Conditions Can Sports Medicine Specialists Diagnose and Treat?
