Sports Medicine Rehab

For nearly 25 years, the OCH Sports Medicine Team has been on the sidelines with our area athletes.

Whether at practice or playing for the championship, OCH certified athletic trainers are right there when athletes need them the most to provide injury prevention measures, injury evaluation and immediate, on-site treatment. Working closely with orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Todd Smith, and physical therapists, athletic trainers help diagnose, treat and rehabilitate injured players and determine when they’re ready to get back in the game.

Annual High School Sports Physicals

With the help of OCH volunteers and staff physicians, the trainers provide almost 1,000 area athletes FREE pre-participation sports examinations each summer. These exams help detect abnormalities as well as problems that could potentially arise as a result of a player's medical history or a pre-existing condition.

Saturday Morning Sports Clinic

OCH Athletic Trainers, along with OCH Orthopedic Center surgeon Dr. Todd Smith, volunteer their time for a Saturday morning clinic free of charge to athletes. Further diagnostic testing that is required such as x-rays or MRIs are billed to the patient's insurance. If there is no insurance, patients are responsible for payment for any additional tests.
