Youth Sports Injury Prevention in Macon
Youth sports are great for fitness and character, but growing bodies are especially vulnerable to overuse injuries. A proactive approach in Macon can keep young athletes on the field and out of the doctor’s office.
Most common youth sports injuries
- Little League elbow and thrower’s shoulder
- Osgood-Schlatter and Sever’s disease from growth-plate stress
- Ankle sprains in soccer and basketball
- Concussion-related neck dysfunction in contact sports
Prevention strategies that work
- Follow sport-specific rest and pitch-count guidelines
- Prioritize multi-sport participation before age 14
- Add flexibility and strength work twice weekly
- Use preseason movement screenings to catch imbalances
