Clinicians must have knowledge of the growth and development of the adolescent
spine and the subsequent injury patterns and other spinal conditions common in
the adolescent athlete. The management and treatment of spinal injuries in
adolescent athletes require a coordinated effort between the clinician, patients,
parents/guardians, coaches, therapists, and athletic trainers. Treatment should
not only help alleviate the current symptoms but also address flexibility and
muscle imbalances to prevent future injuries by recognizing and addressing risk
factors. Return to sport should be a gradual process once the pain has resolved
and the athlete has regained full strength.
