Care for High School Athletes

At High Mountain Orthopedics, we understand that the needs of our high school athletes differ from other patients. As a young sports player, your body is still taking time to grow, so it’s important to find a sports medicine program that caters to your development. As you get older, your bones are usually the first aspect of your body to develop. This makes high school athletes more susceptible to muscle and tendon injuries.

Conditions We Treat

Our specialists at High Mountain Orthopedics are trained to treat a variety of injuries for high school athletes. Some of those conditions include:

• Ankle or wrist sprain
• Knee injuries
• Golfer’s and tennis elbow
• Wrist fractures

When you suffer from the symptoms of a sports injury, it’s important to get the care you need as soon as possible, especially as a high school athlete. This is the age where appropriate bone development is essential to healthy growth in the future. Finding a doctor that understands the needs of an adolescent’s bone growth can help you properly re-gain your strength and get you back to playing the sport you love.

When discussing treatments plans, High Mountain Orthopedics gets to know you on a personal level so we can understand how to serve you best.
