Road To Recovery

LSU is one of the top schools in the nation to get its student-athletes back on the field in a timely manner following an injury. The athletic training staff takes a progressive approach to injury identification and thinks “outside of the box.” LSU consults with allied health professionals and uses state-of-the-art surgical procedures that give an athlete a quicker recovery time while looking out for his or her future.

Gameday Wellness The full-time athletic training staff, along with 10 graduate assistants, prepares the players for gameday in the comfort of Tiger Stadium hours before kickoff.

Dental Center A fully functional dental center, staffed by Dr. Robin Levy and Dr. John Vance, is located inside the Broussard Center for Athletic Training.

Vision Center Dr. Don Peavy and Dr. Russell Saloom conduct eye exams for LSU student-athletes in a convenient location in the Broussard Center for Athletic Training.

Pharmacy The LSU Athletic Training Pharmacy is the only one of its kind in college athletics. Staffed by pharmacists Kevin Denoux and Caroline Lancon, the LSU Athletic Training Pharmacy provides the Tigers with first-class service in a convenient location.

Rehabilitation LSU’s Broussard Center for Athletic Training boasts some of the most technologically advanced equipment to aid the recuperation and rehabilitation of LSU’s student-athletes.

Real-Time X-Rays A new state-of-the-art fluoroscope was added in the summer of 2008 that will provide LSU athletic trainers the opportunity to take x-rays on site in the Operations Center. The machine can provide real-time images of the internal structures of a patient.
