Lincoln Likness DO

"I love keeping active people and athletes of any age at the top of their game."

Dr. Lincoln Likness specializes in sports medicine, spine care, and concussion management for athletes and active people of all ages. Whether a patient is recovering from an injury, experiencing back or neck pain, or managing an ongoing musculoskeletal condition, his goal is to identify the source of the problem and help them safely return to the activities they enjoy.

His practice includes non-surgical orthopedic care and interventional spine procedures, with treatment options focused on relieving pain, restoring movement, and improving function. He works with each patient to develop a practical care plan based on their condition, goals, and activity level.

Dr. Likness works closely with Hudson Physicians’ Sports Medicine team, connecting patients with a wide range of diagnostic, treatment, rehabilitation, and injury-prevention resources. This team-based approach provides patients with coordinated care and support throughout their recovery.

He also oversees Hudson Physicians’ comprehensive sports concussion program, working with athletes, families, schools, coaches, and other members of the care team—from the initial evaluation through a safe return to learning and activity.

As Sports Medicine Medical Director for four area school districts, Dr. Likness helps bring injury prevention, concussion management, and sports medicine expertise directly to student-athletes. He also provides medical support for several local races and community athletic events.

In addition to caring for patients, Dr. Likness serves as President of Hudson Physicians, supporting the organization’s continued commitment to independent, community-based healthcare.

Outside of medicine, he enjoys ranching, outdoor activities, and promoting healthy, active lifestyles throughout the community.
