Symptoms Of Musculoskeletal And Sports Injuries In Children

Sports Injuries may be hard to avoid with active children, and can range from minor cuts and bruises, to more serious sprains, fractures and broken bones. Injuries can occur for a number of reasons, including not wearing correct protective sports equipment, not warming up correctly or from dehydration. Below are some of the most common types of sports injuries in children:
