Sports medicine or ‘Sports and Exercise Medicine’ (SEM) is the branch of medical science that deals with such injuries and devises methods to prevent such injuries.

Also, people who indulge in strenuous physical activities or exercise vigorously may need doctors of this specialization. People who work in jobs where they have to lift heavy loads or have to exert themselves more than usual might also be in need of SEM specialists.
