When young kids play organized or competitive sports, they get a lot of benefits. But they’re also at a higher risk of injury or overuse.
We want to prevent, diagnose and treat these conditions early to avoid long-term issues. Visit one of our youth sports medicine physicians immediately if you think your young athlete might have:
- Sprains and strains
- Dislocations
- Cartilage and joint problems
- Tendonitis
- Concussions
- Fractures
- Growth plate injuries
