Sports Health

Injuries in children are best handled by pediatric specialists trained in treating skeletally immature patients. The Sports Medicine Center at Children’s offers the only comprehensive, integrated program in North Texas specifically designed for young and growing athletes. The program goes beyond treating traumatic injuries that occur on the playing field to more complex problems associated with sports participation, including cardiac and psychological disorders.
