Greater Emphasis Needs to be Placed on Injury Prevention in Young Athletes
Athletics present a wonderful opportunity for children to realize their physical potential and learn valuable life lessons. It also opens the athlete up to the possibility of injury. Injury rates are increasing as children enter into and streamline athletic competition at earlier ages. We treat these injuries in our clinics, and with the changing healthcare environment, we have fewer visits in which to do so. If the healthcare provider hopes to produce positive outcomes for our patient athletes, greater emphasis needs to be placed on injury prevention.
