Unfortunately, this doesn't always happen, and all too often it is the nerves that step out of line pushing on tendons, muscles, cartilage, and bone.

This is called a pinched nerve and our staff at Oxford Rehabilitation Center in Philadelphia, PA, can treat it.

- Ankle SprainSometimes, sports injuries are not obvious. The injury isn’t as obvious as a broken arm or twisted ankle. However, some pains might be internal or miniscule. Some children may not even experience pain after an injury. With those kinds of situations there is a chance your child has compressed joints or bones that have pushed slightly out of place. This can lead to all kinds of pain or discomfort issues that, if left untreated, will only worsen over time. It is important that we assess your child to help with these lingering pains before the situation becomes far worse.
