With the new MEDICA MEDICINE + SPORTS CONFERENCE, MEDICA 2013, World Forum for Medicine, will for the first time offer the sports medicine sector its own communication platform. This conference will be held on November 21, 2013 in the Congress Center at the Dusseldorf fairgrounds. MEDICA 2013 will take place from November 20 - 23, 2013 at the exhibition center in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Held in English, the conference will be dedicated to three topics relating to sports and medicine: prevention, therapy (excluding surgery) and recovery. "For all those who are health conscious, sport plays a crucial role in staying fit into a ripe old age. However, whether caused by accidents or strain, the treatment of sport injuries requires an individual approach as well as expert knowledge," stated Joachim Schafer, Managing Director of Messe Dusseldorf.

The MEDICA MEDICINE + SPORTS CONFERENCE will present research results, trends and technology from various perspectives. In addition to the preventive effect of sports for various illnesses, strategic improvement of training results while at the same time preventing injuries will be the main focus of the conference. Further topics will include techniques to build strength and to prevent surgeries including the latest methods from the field of Tradition Chinese Medicine (TCM).
