Injury Management
Care+ takes the time and attention to ensure that your child gets the care they need in a clean and comfortable environment. We strive to treat the following injuries while also making sure your child remains calm and comfortable.
Sprains and Strains
Sprains involve the stretching or tearing of ligaments, while strains refer to damage to the muscles and attaching tendons. These injuries can occur during organized sports or just playing in the backyard with friends. Strains can also occur due to overuse of the ligament.
For children with sprains and strains, we provide the following services and medical devices:
Digital X-rays
Walking boots
Splinting
Slings
Crutches
In addition to your child’s walking boot, splint, sling or crutches, we will provide you with detailed instructions on when to use these devices and how long to use them.
