Now that kids are back to school in central Indiana, as parents we can breath easy about summertime injuries, right?
Well, not if your children play sports.
Sports injuries are very common, and the old notion of letting the child tough it out or letting the athletic trainer deal with the injury is outdated. Many injuries require some medical attention to ensure a more serious hidden problem has not occurred, and this is especially true of foot and ankle injuries. Some injuries can affect the bone growth zones that can lead to long term joint deformity if not properly treated, and some ligament and tendon injuries can lead to permanant instability if not stabilized properly following the injury. If your child has injured their foot or ankle, be sure to let one of our doctors take a look to make sure no long term issues arise from the injury.
Dr. Kilberg will be offering a free foot health screening at the Hamilton County Employee Wellness Fair on Thursday, August 19th from 2 to 7 pm at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds. All Hamilton County employees are welcome to attend.
