Dr. David Geier

Dr. David Geier is a triple-board certified orthopedic surgeon, sports medicine specialist, and anti-aging and regenerative medicine expert dedicated to helping individuals feel, look, and perform their best—regardless of age or injury. With a passion for non-surgical healing and peak performance optimization, Dr. Geier empowers athletes, active adults, and everyday enthusiasts to overcome setbacks and reclaim their vitality.

As an athlete who grew up loving sports and exercise, Dr. Geier’s journey took a pivotal turn during college when he suffered a near-death anaphylactic shock while running. Frustrated by the lack of clear answers, he became determined to guide others toward better health and resilience. After over 16 years in traditional orthopedic surgery and sports medicine—where he created and led programs at an academic medical center and a private hospital in Charleston, South Carolina—Dr. Geier shifted his focus to regenerative orthopedics more than four years ago. Today, in his practice, he treats patients from across the country, emphasizing innovative treatments, medications, and injections to heal injuries without invasive surgeries. His approach not only alleviates pain but also rebuilds strength, energy, endurance, and muscle, preventing recurrences and helping people return to what they love—whether it's competing in sports, daily workouts, playing with kids, or thriving at work.

Dr. Geier is deeply committed to supporting military veterans through his expertise in orthopedic and regenerative medicine. As an independent medical consultant, he assists veterans and their families in navigating the VA disability claims process, particularly for service-related orthopedic injuries. He provides comprehensive Nexus letters and Disability Benefits Questionnaires (DBQs) to establish the connection between military service and musculoskeletal conditions, helping veterans secure the benefits and compensation they deserve. Drawing from his extensive clinical experience, Dr. Geier serves as a trusted advocate, simplifying the often frustrating VA system and empowering veterans to achieve better health outcomes and quality of life. His work in this area stems from a passion for honoring those who have served, ensuring they receive personalized, evidence-based support for lasting recovery and wellness.

Board-certified in Orthopaedic Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, and in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine by the American Board of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, Dr. Geier holds additional certifications in Peptide Therapy from the International Peptide Society and American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, as well as Certified Independent Medical Examiner status from the American Board of Independent Medical Examiners. He is an active member of the International Peptide Society, Clinical Peptide Society, American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, and American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM), where he served on the Board of Directors as Communications Council Chair from 2016 to 2019. He has also contributed to the Medical Aspects of Sports Committee of the South Carolina Medical Association and reviewed for journals like the American Journal of Sports Medicine, Sports Health, and Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine.

In an era where over 44 million kids play sports, 125 million adults exercise regularly, and nearly 200 million Americans are sports fans, Dr. Geier bridges the gap with accessible, expert insights. Nearly 2.6 million young athletes visit ERs annually for preventable injuries, and his mission is to educate and prevent through "expert coaching." As the sports medicine guru behind a highly visited website and social media platforms, he shares wellness information in easy-to-understand language for athletes, parents, coaches, and providers.

Dr. Geier’s book, That's Gotta Hurt: The Injuries That Changed Sports Forever (2017), explores pivotal moments in sports medicine. He delivered a TEDx talk, "Our Future You[th]: How Exercising Restraint Could Save America’s Young Athletes," and writes a popular column for The Post and Courier in Charleston. From 2020 to 2025, he served as Chief Medical Expert for ABC News 4 and FOX 24, conducting over 3,500 media interviews featured in outlets like USA Today, The New York Times, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, CNN, and Men’s Health.
