Children's Sports Injuries

Children's sports injuries are physical harm that occurs when kids engage in sports or physical activities. These injuries can range from minor sprains and strains to fractures and growth plate injuries, which impact the developing bones of children. Factors such as improper technique, overtraining, and inadequate warm-ups can contribute to these injuries. It's important for parents and coaches to prioritize safety, ensure proper equipment is used, and encourage a balanced approach to sports to minimize risks. Early recognition and treatment by a sports orthopedic specialist can help children recover effectively and return to their activities safely.
