Doctors at the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Childrens Hospital offer unique approaches to pediatric sports medicine for children and teens of all ages. We care for young athletes at every level, from seasonal athletes to elite competitors.

Our care ranges from pre-participation physicals to advanced treatment of non-surgical sports injuries. We are experts in sports injuries affecting the shoulders, knees, and ankles. These conditions are often more difficult to treat in children than in adults, due to growth and development issues.

Our primary care pediatric sports medicine specialist -- the first in Chicago -- is nationally recognized for her expertise and serves as chair of the Illinois Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics' committee on sports medicine and fitness. She is also a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine.

We care for children and adolescents with a range of orthopaedic conditions and sports-related injuries, including:

We work closely with parents, coaches, and other specialists and subspecialists to provide customized care plans to fit your child or teens specific needs. We can provide consultation on sports readiness, strength training, and general conditioning for sports.

The most advanced diagnostic therapies are available, including CT and MRI testing performed in Comer Childrens. Most of the problems we encounter can be treated medically, without surgery. But when surgery is needed, our doctors can assess your childs options and collaborate with surgeons on the best approach for your child or teen. Our pediatric sports medicine specialist works closely with our expert pediatric surgical team to identify problems and resolve them.

We provide multidisciplinary care for young female athletes at every level. We have extensive expertise in treating knee ligament injuries, a common problem in teen athletes. We also specialize in diagnosing and treating the female athlete triad, which involves disordered eating, menstrual irregularities, and stress fractures.

Comer Childrens provides a comprehensive range of rehabilitation services for young athletes that you wont find elsewhere, including:

Pediatric sports medicine care is offered at our main location at the University of Chicago medical campus in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, as well as two suburban locations in Matteson and Naperville.
