Dr. Odom is one of only a handful of physicians in the Twin Cities area to practice the Hackett Hemwall method of Prolotherapy.  Countless new studies show Prolo’s effectiveness in successfully treating enthesopathies (common examples include: tennis elbow, jumper’s knee, plantar fasciitis to name a few) that have been refractive to traditional treatments.

“As a medical doctor, I look at each patient individually, taking into account his or her lifestyle and history, not just the injury.  In most cases there is a non-surgical solution to getting patients back in the game.  Whether the game means the Olympics or activities of everyday life.   Each patient who comes through the doors at Odom Sports Medicine is guaranteed individualized care, given by me.”

Dr. Odom covers the Twin Cities Marathon, Chicago Marathon, USA Triathlon, MN High School State Tournaments (football, basketball, baseball, track, cross country, and dance).  Currently the team physician for Northwestern College
