Comprehensive Care & Resources for Young Athletes
The sports medicine experts at UH Drusinsky Sports Medicine Institute and UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s are committed to providing world-class care for young athletes.
Children and adolescents require highly specialized care that considers their age, stage of growth and performance levels. Because their bones, muscles, ligaments and joints are still growing, the physiology of youth athletes is vastly different from that of adults. When pediatric sports injuries occur, accurate diagnosis and treatment are crucial to avoid long-term growth or developmental effects.
