Youth Sports Injuries on the Rise,

According to Dr. Peter J. Millett, pushing your child in sports too young
and too hard may cause injuries that last a lifetime
.
If you saw the movie Black Swan in theaters recently, then you possibly
may have felt sorry for Natalie Portmans character, Nina, a world-class
ballerina who was chosen for the perfect role. While beautiful, graceful,
and outstandingly flexible, she was an astonishing example of just how far
the human body can go and how much one will endure to win.
.
While this example may seem extreme, it is not uncommon. From football to
soccer, swimming to hockey, baseball to ballet, sports and the young
athletes that train hard to win at them have taken the word compete to an
all-new level.
.
.
How Does It Get To That Extreme Level?
.
For the most part, parents are typically happy enough to have their kids
running around in the sunshine having fun with their friends and getting
some physical activity. This is the reason why millions of parents sign
their kids up for sports each year.
.
Lets face it, sports are excellent vehicles for kids to develop
coordination, healthy lifestyle habits, and to learn teamwork. The U.S.
Center for Disease Control states that nearly 30 million children and
adolescents participate in youth sports in the United States each year.
.
However, orthopedic specialists are heeding some serious warnings about
youth sports injuries for all die-hards.
.
Dr. Peter J. Millett, an orthopedic shoulder surgeon and sports medicine
doctor with The Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colorado states, The children who
exhibit special talents and who excel at certain sports are the ones who
will be in for a long ride. While winning is a principal goal for all
athletes, staying healthy ultimately becomes more important
.
Unfortunately, he continues, The harder and more intense the competition,
the longer the hours and the more time spent training, the greater the
risk for significant injury particularly from overuse injuries!
.
Sports Injuries Among Our Youth
.
According to the Sports Trauma Overuse and Prevention (STOP) campaign,
youth sports injuries have reached epidemic heights. It is estimated that
more than 3.5 million kids under the age of 14 receive medical treatment
for sports injuries each year, a large majority of which are caused by
overuse.
