Archbold’s Advanced Therapy & Sports Medicine Clinic is proud to be the official sports medicine provider for Thomasville High School and Thomas County Central athletics. Call 229.228.8050 today to learn more.
As a part of the school healthcare team, services provided by athletic trainers include primary care, injury and illness prevention, wellness promotion and education, emergent care, examination, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions. Athletic trainers are trained to recognize general medical conditions, injuries, and illnesses. They also possess the unique ability to write, communicate, and provide emergency care, which is critical for stabilizing an athlete before EMS arrives.
Athletic trainers (ATs) are highly qualified healthcare professionals who render service or treatment under the direction of, or in collaboration with, a physician. Athletic trainers provide onsite medical coverage for practices and games, which allows student-athletes immediate access to care for all types of injuries.

Recognizing and evaluating injuries in athletes
Providing first aid or emergency care on site
Developing and carrying out rehabilitation programs for injured athletes
