Back in the Game, Faster: How Sports Medicine Meets You Where You Are
Your kid rolls an ankle at practice. You tweak your back reaching for a serve. Your neighbor’s training plan hits a wall after a pulled hamstring.
Sports injuries don’t just hurt, they disrupt life.
And if they’re not treated right, they can take you out of the game for good.
At Hudson Physicians, if it hurts, we can help.
Our Sports Medicine team combines expert care, cutting-edge tools, and a deep connection to local schools and athletic programs to help individuals at every stage of life recover and heal safely.
We’re Already in Your Community!
Here’s something you might not know: our certified athletic trainers are on the sidelines at local schools right now, watching your kids play.
They’re at:
- Hudson Schools – Megan O’Leary, MS, LAT, ATC
- River Falls Schools – Mary Holthe, MS, LAT, ATC
- St. Croix Central Schools – Sophie [Last Name], MS, LAT, ATC
- Prescott Schools – Rachel [Last Name], MS, LAT, ATC
These aren’t just the people handing out ice packs.
They’re highly trained experts in injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance optimization, and they work directly with our Sports Medicine providers to make sure student athletes get the right care, fast.
When an injury happens, they’re the first line of assessment. When recovery begins, they’re part of the plan. And when it’s time to return to play, they help make that call.
It’s a partnership that keeps kids safer and gets them back faster.
What We Treat (And How We Do It Differently)
Hudson Physician’s doesn’t just treat the injury in front of us. We look at the whole picture: your goals, your body, your life.
In addition to athletic trainers, our Sports Medicine team includes experienced physicians, podiatrists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who work collectively to get you moving again, whether you’re 15 or 55.
Here’s how we help:
Acute Injury Clinic
Sprains, strains, and new injuries get fast-track care. No long waits. No guesswork. Just expert evaluation and a clear plan forward.
Concussion Management
Our Sports Concussion Program uses ImPACT neurocognitive testing, Postural Sway Analysis, and baseline testing for school and club athletes. We guide every step of recovery and make the call on safe return-to-play, because rushing back isn’t worth the risk.
Spine Medicine
Chronic neck, back, or spinal pain doesn’t have to mean surgery. We offer non-surgical treatment options that address the root cause and get you moving without going under the knife.
Advanced Sports Procedures
Ultrasound-guided joint injections. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Prolotherapy. Customized rehab plans. Cupping, Graston technique, bracing—we use what works for your body and your goals.
Healing Isn’t Just Rest. It’s the Right Support at the Right Time.
We know what it’s like to be sidelined. The frustration. The impatience. The fear that you won’t feel like yourself again.
That’s why our team doesn’t just tell you to “take it easy.” We build personalized recovery plans that help you heal safely, and come back stronger.
From the first evaluation to your final clearance, we’re with you.
