Sports Medicine for Children

Whether playing on the sports field, exercising, or on the playground, children sometimes get hurt. At Shriners Children’s, we specialize in pediatric bones, joints and muscles. We understand the effects of injuries to growing bones, growth plates and soft tissues. Our ultimate goal is to get children back to what they love quickly and safely.
