Joseph L Medellin, MD

Biographical Statement

As a community-minded provider, I am dedicated to caring for our neighbors in a variety of ways, from serving area high school and collegiate-level student athletes to promoting the health of families through a collaboration with the Dahlem Environmental Center and its Nature for All Trail. 

I am able to provide sport-related treatments, including:

• PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection to naturally stimulate healing in an injured area or to relieve chronic pain
• Tenex technology to provide minimally invasive treatment for chronic tendon pain
• MSK US (musculoskeletal ultrasound) to provide a safe scanning technology that uses sound waves to create images of tendons, ligaments, joints and muscles throughout the body
• Ultrasound-guided injections to reduce joint pain
• Sport-related concussion care and monitoring

I serve as team physician for Albion College, Jackson College and Spring Arbor University. I also serve as one of the team physicians for the USA Weightlifting Sports Medicine Society, an organization that cares for athletes during Olympic Weightlifting competitions around the world.
