High School Sport Injuries
As more children and teens participate in organized sporting events, injuries to these young athletes are on the rise. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, More than 3.5 million kids under age 14 receive medical treatment for sports injuries each year. At Precision Muscle Recovery, our therapists are dedicated to the care of young athletes who sustain sports injuries.
For many sports-related injuries, it can be beneficial to seek the care of a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. Injuries and conditions of the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints experienced by young athletes can be very different than with adult patients. However, our practitioners have specialized training and experience needed to effectively treat several musculoskeletal conditions and sports-related injuries of growing youth in conjunction with your orthopedic surgeon.
Common pediatric sports injuries and conditions treated at Precision Muscle Recovery include:
- Sprains and strains
- Overuse injuries
- Pain associated with dislocations
- Cartilage injuries
- Ligament injuries
- Tendinitis
- Concussions
In addition, Precision Muscle Recovery offers many same day and late-night appointments for athletic injuries that need immediate care (which are not necessary for Urgent Care). Several high school athletic teams and individuals have received pre- and post-event massages, manual therapy, performance-enhancing corrective exercise, physical rehab, and KinesioTaping from Precision Muscle Recovery.
