| | Children And Sports Injuries |
| | Although the treatment of sports injuries has been a basic approach in chiropractic since its beginning, there is now a specialty (chiropractic sports physician) devoted to the care and handling of athletes and their injuries. | | | Although the risk of injury seems proportionate to the skill of the athlete, the greatest number of injuries occur during floor exercises and tumbling, with other injuries resulting from upsets on the balance beam and uneven parallel bars. | | | The PPE may uncover special medical problems such as juvenile diabetes, epilepsy, asthma, cardiac conditions, previous sports injuries or other clinical problems that may prevent the child from participating in sports. |

| | Handout on Health: Sports Injuries |
| | Traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, (relatively rare during sports or exercise) and bruises are considered briefly in the Appendix. | | | Some sports injuries result from accidents; others are due to poor training practices, improper equipment, lack of conditioning, or insufficient warmup and stretching. | | | Whether an injury is acute or chronic, there is never a good reason to try to "work through" the pain of an injury. |

| | Dealing With Sports Injuries |
| | If the injury is severe and there is a chance that the neck might be injured, it's very important to keep the injured person still with the head held straight while someone calls for emergency medical help. | | | Any injury that results in swelling, numbness, intense pain or tenderness, stiffness, or loss of flexibility should be taken seriously. | | | If your pain progressively increases with activity (what sports medicine doctors call an "upward crescendo") and causes swelling, limping, or loss of range of motion, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. |
