Resources for Growing Athletes

Because your athlete’s body is still growing, he needs care designed for growing bones, muscles and ligaments. That’s why it’s important to make sure your child is seen by pediatric-trained specialists.

The certified athletic trainers (ATCs) at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta are the link between your child’s athletic program and the medical community. Athletic trainers apply injury-prevention measures and management, as well as deliver emergency care on and off the field or court. If your athlete needs care after an injury or illness, our team of pediatric sports medicine physicians and physical therapists understands how to get her safely back in the game, while also preventing long-term injury.
