Sports Medicine Center
for Young Athletes
Young athletes should be managed differently from adult athletes. Growing bones and cartilage are susceptible to injuries unlike those of a skeletally mature athlete. Overuse injuries in young athletes can lead to disability that extends into adulthood. As young athletes become increasingly skilled and competitive, the injury rates and significance increase.
That’s why we have developed a program offering young athletes a one-of-a-kind resource for sports injury care and prevention.
The Sports Medicine Center for Young Athletes is the first sports medicine program in Northern California to work exclusively with young athletes.
Our pediatric sports medicine specialists, who have extensive knowledge and experience in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of sports-related injuries in children and adolescents, offer young athletes the most current and comprehensive medical care and educational programming available. It is our objective to facilitate not only the return to the enjoyment of sports quickly, but also safely.
