It is estimated that 30 million children now participate in organized sports. 

Correspondingly, as participation increases, injuries increase.  Sports injuries to young people now exceed the occurrence of infectious disease.

 HUGE - TAKE NOTE:  More than 700,000 children under the age of 15 are taken to the hospital emergency room for treatment of sports-related injuries.  In fact, children between the ages 11-15 account for 55% of all sports-related injuries that require hospitalization.

 ANOTHER HUGE NOTE:  Sports and recreational activities account for 4.3 million or 36% of all injuries to children in the United States.

 What is really new are the types of children’s sports injuries seldom seen in past generations, and these are overuse injuries caused by small, but repetitive injuries to the body’s tissues, joints and spinal columns resulting in chronic health conditions.



How can I help?  Chiropractic adjustments for children of all ages are of tremendous benefit for the treatment and prevention of injuries and to maximize performance potential and a child’s healthy development.
