Dr. Paul Johnson is board certified in both internal medicine and sports medicine and has been practicing sports medicine since 2006 in the Portland / Vancouver area. He went to the Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine, and then onto Rush Presbyterian – St. Luke’s Medical Center / Cook County Hospital, in Chicago, IL, for residency in internal medicine, followed by a sports medicine fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh.

Dr. Johnson is a specialist in the non-surgical management of acute and over-use musculoskeletal injuries, osteopathic manual medicine, concussion management, and ultrasound guided regenerative injections. He works closely with other medical specialists, athletic trainers, and physical therapists to provide comprehensive musculoskeletal care and rehabilitation for athletes and non-athletes alike.

His interest in sports and osteopathic medicine began in high school after experiencing sport-related injuries playing hockey and football.
