Questions From Home
If you are concerned about an injury that your child encountered during athletics, please contact me. Many times injuries appear to be minor one day, and are more bothersome the next. I can help you in deciding if the injury can be managed "in-house" in our Athletic Training facility or should be referred out to a physician.
If, upon consultation with me, you still have doubts about the severity of an injury, please feel free to seek appropriate medical attention. I strongly recommend seeing a specialist specific to the body part or condition. If you need assistance locating a specialist, I can help. After deciding to see a physician, you must provide me with documentation stating diagnosis, return to play criteria, and any special instructions. I am able to provide treatment and rehabilitation to the athlete on written order of a physician. Written communication with your doctor is very important for me to appropriately (and legally) treat athletes and return them to safe athletic participation when released by the physician.
