Taking care of an injured athlete is more than applying a specialized brace. It is the skilled hands-on evaluation and appropriate diagnostic testing that determine the best overall plan of care; remembering first and foremost, that it's not another injured athlete but a human being.

Many people in today's society choose to participate in athletics. Some are professionals whose physical performance is their livelihood, many are students who participate in school sports programs, and still others are avid amateurs who participate in sports for recreation and physical fitness. Unfortunately, injuries that occur during athletic competition have become common among today's active population.  All athletes, regardless of skill level, share the need for a comprehensive sports medicine program that meets their individual needs. At the Galion Community Hospital’s Ortho Center, our philosophy is to provide all athletes -professional and recreational- with the same high quality care. .............

In addition to providing specialized assessment and treatment for sports-related injuries, our clinical team also offers educational programs about injury prevention and recognition. Our programs teach proper strength building, flexibility, conditioning, endurance, and training techniques,  to help minimize the risk of injury.
