Cheerleading today is more physically demanding than ever. From tumbling passes to complex stunts, young athletes place significant stress on their growing bodies.

Over time, repetitive movements without proper recovery can lead to overuse injuries affecting the wrists, knees, ankles, shoulders, and spine.

Understanding the warning signs and prioritizing prevention can help protect young athletes and keep them safely participating in the sport they love.

Learn more about overuse injuries in cheerleading, how they develop, and when to seek care in our latest blog.

“Kids are not small adults.”

It’s a phrase pediatric orthopedists use often because children’s bodies are still growing, healing, and developing in ways that differ from adults.

At TPOC, our physicians are board-certified or board-eligible pediatric orthopedists, trained specifically to care for growing bones, joints, and muscles. The right treatment today helps protect your child’s long-term health, movement, and ability to stay active.

Because growing bodies deserve care built just for them.

Ankle injuries are one of the most common injuries in children and teens, especially for young athletes involved in sports that involve running, jumping, and pivoting.

Because children’s bones are still developing, injuries that might cause a sprain in an adult can sometimes affect the growth plate in a child.

Understanding the difference between sprains, stress fractures, and growth plate injuries is essential to ensure proper healing and protect long-term bone development.

In our latest blog, we explain common pediatric ankle injuries, warning signs parents should watch for, and when to seek specialized care.

Many young athletes are playing sports year-round, but is it actually safe for growing bodies?

Year-round training can build skills and confidence, but without proper rest and balance, it can also increase the risk of overuse injuries and burnout.

In our latest blog, we break down what parents should know about specialization, growth plates, and how to keep kids healthy while they play the sports they love.
