Sports and Exercise Medicine

Our Sports and Exercise Medicine (SEM) service is dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and preventing injuries resulting from activity, exercise, and sports. From our main clinic in Sandygate, Sheffield, our expert Sports and Exercise Medicine consultants are ready to help you manage pain, recover better, and get back to your activity. 

Specialist Sport and Exercise Medicine

Sports medicine isn’t just for athletes. The treatments can help people recovering from an injury, managing a long-term condition, and those seeking to improve their health through exercise. 

At the White House Clinic, our Sports and Exercise Medicine consultants are doctors with specialist training in this field. They understand how to treat injuries and conditions related to physical activity and how to use exercise to aid recovery. 

What can a Sport and Exercise Medicine consultant do?

A Sports and Exercise Medicine consultant has enhanced knowledge and access to the best equipment needed to accurately diagnose sports and musculoskeletal-related injuries such as tendinitis, bursitis, repetitive strain injury, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, and ITB Syndrome. 

Following an SEM assessment, your consultant will have direct access to the following treatments, investigations, and services.

• Diagnostic ultrasound scanning

• Barbotage
