About Us
The sports medicine specialists at Children's Nebraska focus on preventing overuse injuries, fractures and concussions in young athletes while providing expert care for a range of sports-related injuries. Each year, nearly 2 million high school athletes and more than 3 million children younger than 14 years are injured in sports. With proper education and guidance, about half of these injuries can be avoided.
Our team specializes in age-appropriate injury prevention and treatment, understanding the unique needs of young athletes, such as growth-related concerns and increased vulnerability to certain injuries. We offer a dedicated Sports Physical Therapy program for pediatric injuries and work with pediatric sports medicine experts, including doctors, orthopedic surgeons, athletic trainers and nurses.
If your child is injured, we provide accurate diagnosis and create a plan to return them to play safely and quickly. Young athletes should see a pediatric sports medicine specialist for concussion symptoms, persistent pain, swelling, flare-ups or if they rely on pain medications to compete.
