Welcome to CHS Athletic Training!

What is Athletic Training?
Athletic training is an allied health profession that specializes in the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic injuries.  Collinsville High School has an up-to-date athletic training room that provides our athletes with many treatment and rehabilitation options.  The Athletic Training Room is open every afternoon for injury evaluations, treatment & rehabilitation.

For more information about Athletic Training visit the National Athletic Trainers Association website.

How does it work?
Athletes are encouraged to see Amanda when an injury occurs.   Many problems can be addressed here at school without having to consult a physician, saving time & expense.  If further evaluation by a doctor is needed, the athletic trainer will make that recommendation.

While injury care is the primary concern, Amanda is also available for any other health related issues.  Please contact the Athletic Training Room with any questions concerning nutrition, training and conditioning, nutritional supplements or other health issues.

"Is there a doctor in the house"?
Dr Janiece Stewart, of the Center for Orthopedic Surgery & Sports Medicine (www.COSSM-STE.com), is team physician for the Kahoks. Dr Stewart provides sideline coverage for home football games & other sporting events throughout the year. She is also available for office visits & injury care.
