Injuries to young athletes differ significantly from those of an adult. Growing bones and cartilage are more susceptible to injury and require specialized treatment. Injuries sustained while the body is developing can have significant long term consequences.
It is imperative that these injuries are properly diagnosed and treated.
Through intense acute injury management, aggressive sport-specific rehabilitation and injury prevention strategies, we work hard to keep young athletes in the game, without jeopardizing their long-term health.
