Therapy & Sport Center’s Certified Athletic Trainers
Certified athletic trainers are medical experts who help prevent, assess, treat and rehabilitate injuries that result from physical activity. They are professionals recognized by the American Medical Association as allied health specialists in the field of sports medicine. All certified athletic trainers have a minimum four-year college degree from an accredited athletic training program and have passed a national competency exam administered by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association Board of Certification.

How to Get Referred
If you have an injury, ask your physician to write a referral for athletic training. Many insurance companies now cover athletic training services. If your insurance does not cover these services, you may still receive them on a private-pay basis.
ImPACT provides computerized neurocognitive assessment tools and services that are used by coaches, athletic trainers, doctors, and other health professionals to assist them in determining an athlete’s fitness to return to play after suffering a concussion. It is the first, most-widely used, and most scientifically validated computerized concussion evaluation system.
