If I sprained my Achilles tendon, will it likely tear in the future?
Greetings! There would be a greater likelihood of tear if it doesn’t heal fully. I strongly recommend having it evaluated by a clinician. READ MORE
Ideally, how often should kids be active for?
Greetings! Children should be physically active for 60 minutes/daily. READ MORE
How often should I drink water while playing sports?
Greetings! I would recommend 100-150 ml/hour. Hydration at 15-minute intervals would be appropriate. For sustained physical activity greater than 1 hour, fluid replacement should include electrolytes (Sodium/Potassium) and glucose. Hope this helps! READ MORE
Should I put my son in football?
Greetings! I completely understand your concern. Unfortunately, injuries are a part of the game in contact sports such as football. With respect to concussions, approximately 5-10% of participants will sustain a concussion yearly. Certainly, there is the potential for permanent damage with concussions and particularly repeated concussions. I don’t have a son, but if I did, I would probably try to encourage him to play a different sport. READ MORE
Can you still be injured without having pain?
Greetings! Yes, it’s possible to have an injury without pain. If you’re still experiencing knee instability (catching, locking, or buckling), I would recommend having it evaluated by a clinician. MRI imaging would be appropriate. READ MORE
