The WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital Sports Medicine program cares for athletes of all sports and all ages – from weekend warriors to competitive high school, college, and professional athletes. Our goal is to help every patient get back to their highest level of activity possible – whether that means returning to the gym or reporting for practice. We provide evaluations for clearing athletes to return to their sports, and give peace of mind to our patients that they are being cared for with the highest quality services possible.

WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital Sports Medicine physicians perform complete physical examinations for athletes of all sports and all ages to identify historical or physical factors that may predispose you to injury and to assess your athletic and physical fitness. We also provide guidance on nutrition for sports performance.

Sports and performance injuries are as varied as the range of activities involved, and our specialists offer a complete range of sports medicine treatment. Many problems can be solved using rehabilitation and strengthening exercises. We will teach you proper conditioning and techniques to help you heal and return to the activities you love.
