Parents, as school sports return, watch for signs your child may be dealing with more than soreness:
Pain that continues after practice
Limping
Swelling
Trouble throwing, running, or jumping
Decreased performance
Avoiding a sport they usually enjoy
Pain that returns every week
Children may try to play through pain because they do not want to miss practice or disappoint a team.
Early care matters.
For youth sports injuries, schedule an appointment with Dr. Bacot at www.cogvi.com.
