Sports Injuries
As the length of sports seasons increases and the level of play intensifies, sports injuries are becoming more common in children and teens. But the growing athlete’s needs are different from the adult athlete dealing with a sports-related injury. Our team of experts works together to get young athletes back in the game.
Common sports injuries include tears to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL).
We also provide care related to trauma, ultra endurance sports, foot and ankle injuries and foot and spine problems.
