Sports Medicine at Caldwell

Caldwell Academy’s sports medicine program provides quality sports-preventative and injury care for its students. This encompasses evaluation and diagnosis, injury prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, acute care, and athlete education. Our athletic trainer works closely with area physicians and team doctors to provide immediate and sustained care for students while also striving to establish trusting relationships with the athletes, coaching staff, parents, and the medical community.
 
Vanessa McBeth is Caldwell’s athletic trainer. The athletic trainer provides evaluations to determine a safe participation status, preventative bracing and taping, and rehabilitative/reconditioning therapy for any athlete with an injury. Athletes who are unable to participate in practice or contests are monitored while they complete their rehabilitation program. The athletic trainer works closely with the athlete's treating physician to carry out any rehabilitative therapy prescribed and is prepared to deal with those injuries that occur throughout each practice or contest.
 
Caldwell Academy would like to acknowledge and thank EmergeOrtho for their continued support of our school and sports medicine program as a corporate sponsor.
