Each year, more than 3.5 million young people under the age of 14 experience sports- and recreation-related injuries, from sprains, strains, bruises, abrasions, and cuts to more serious injuries requiring surgery and rehabilitation. Some young athletes play sports at a high level, while others take a more relaxed approach. Either way, they face their own unique health challenges, which is why the sports medicine team at Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital offers patients a dynamic lineup of experienced professionals in a broad range of medical specialties.
Whatever your young athlete’s activity of choice—whether it is playing organized sports, participating in rigorous dance classes, or jumping homemade skateboard ramps in the driveway—Rainbow provides a unique, specialized environment of care that does not simply treat children like small adults. The hospital’s sports medicine physicians are board-certified pediatricians who have completed a two-year accredited sports medicine fellowship and are among only 100 pediatricians nationwide to have earned their Certificate of Added Qualifications in Sports Medicine.
