You'll use non-surgical approaches and advanced musculoskeletal care techniques (joint injections, ultrasound-guided procedures, etc.) and coordinate recovery programs with rehabilitation specialists.

You'll also emphasize the importance of injury prevention and educate patients, coaches, and families on proper training methods and return-to-play protocols. Coordinating with other healthcare providers, you'll maintain consistency in care, treatment options, and recovery expectations.
