San Antonio Sports Medicine Podcast
The San Antonio Sports Medicine Podcast is our answer to creating a go-to informational resource for the Athletic Trainer in South-Central Texas. We are a group of Athletic Trainers working for the largest medical provider in our area. Our circle goes east to west from Gonzales to Brackettville and north to south, south Austin to Cotulla. While having a workforce of over 100 athletic trainers and partnerships at over 170 programs, we strive to be the communication point for thousands of athletic trainers, coaches, parents, and athletes. Our goal is to take care of our patients and advance the profession of athletic training. While our profession has drastically changed over the last 2 years, we understand that we must adapt and educate to keep the profession moving in the right direction. Our hope is to be informative, educational and entertaining while talking to leaders in our area about topics that directly affect athletic trainers in South Central Texas.

Episode 9 - Lindsay Stephens, D.O. Sports Medicine Associates of San Antonio
A native to San Antonio, TX, Dr. Stephens completed her undergraduate education in Denton, TX at the University of North Texas. Her medical education was fulfilled in Erie, PA at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Upon returning to San Antonio, she completed both her family-medicine residency, serving as Chief Resident, and her sports-medicine fellowship at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa. She then practiced with a local urgent-care company that concentrates on concussions for several years. During that time, Dr. Stephens also served as Medical Director for St. Mary’s University prior to joining Sports Medicine Associates of San Antonio on a full-time basis.
Dr. Stephens is Board Certified in Family Medicine and holds a CAQ in Sports Medicine.
Dr. Stephens currently serves on the medical staff for several San Antonio athletic affiliates including Texas A&M San Antonio, St. Mary’s University, the Rock –N– Roll Marathon, and several local high schools. Dr. Stephens has had the great pleasure to serve AHL Rampage, WNBA Stars, the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) in past.
This week we get to sit down with one of our favorite manual therapists. We get to talk about Dr. Stephen’s background, and how DO's can add a whole new dynamic to the sports medicine team. Having an alternative medicine professional can drastically change the game not only with the evaluation but also treatment and handoffs back and forth between the ATC and MD/DO. We talk about adding manipulative medicine to the overall treatment of all athletes’ levels. We hope you enjoy episode 9.
