Sports Injuries

The current generation of children is more athletic than any before. In fact, it’s estimated that nearly 30 million U.S. children and adolescents are active in youth sports on fields, courts, and rinks each year. These young athletes are enjoying many physical, social, and emotional benefits from playing sports but unfortunately, there are also risks. At CORE Health Centers, our chiropractors can help parents to keep their active, talented kids in prime playing condition. CORE Health Centers not only provides adults chiropractic adjustments, but kids as well. The chiropractic adjustment for kids is a therapeutic manipulation that uses controlled force, leverage, direction, amplitude, and velocity directed at specific joints that can help with preventing sports injuries. We know sports can be a great way for kids to get and stay fit and have fun, especially in today’s rising incidence of childhood obesity and diabetes. But in recent years, they has been injuries once experienced by adults that are now becoming more common in kids. This is usually a result of overuse type of injuries.

When kids are playing sports, there’s always the potential for injury from falling down, running into other kids, or whatever the case may be, but prevention is always the key to avoid as many problems as possible as children get older. At CORE Health Centers, we make a point to ensure that all the falls, stress, trauma, and physical demands that your children endure do not stop them from being kids now or healthy adults later.
