Dr. Kelly was born and raised in Marietta, Ohio. From an early age he was active in a variety of sports and suffered several significant injuries.  As the recurrent trips to the doctor accumulated- so did his interest in the human body and performance.

​

Sports carried him to Ohio University, where he continued his football career and furthered his education.  While at Ohio, he began shadowing different types of medical and performance industry professionals in hopes of gaining real-world experience and ultimately, choosing his future career path.

 

Several thousand hours and three degrees later, he owns and operates Columbus Pain & Performance.  He is well known as an 'outside-the-box' thinker, diagnostician, and devoted doctor. In 2016, he accompanied the Olympic Freestyle Wrestling Team in Rio de Janeiro, and continues working with several athletes as they continue to train while in Columbus.

​

"I love what I do.  Helping patients get out of pain or perform better has always made me excited to come to work each day.  If you show up at our office, I'll give you 100% of my ability."
