Pediatric Sports Injuries

Pediatrics Sports Injuries

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, there are more than 3.5 million sports injuries in children each year. The most common types of injuries include strains/sprains, overuse injuries, broken bones, and concussions.

Although as athletes, coaches, parents, and trainers, we take several steps to prevent sports injuries, some injuries occur beyond our control. Children also find it difficult to pinpoint their pain and this can lead to ignoring major injuries, which could lead to chronic injuries and permanent disabilities.
