Orthopedics for Harford County School Athletics
Our student-athletes are an important part of our community. Keeping them safe, and caring for their injuries, is a big part of what we do.
We are focused on educating our community coaches on the prevention and initial treatment of sports-related injuries through our Coaches Clinics. We tailor these for each athletic season and focus on:
- Techniques to prevent injuries through proper stretching and conditioning
- Signs and symptoms of a concussion (traumatic brain injury or TBI)
- Common sport-specific injuries including initial treatment and recommendations on follow-up care
- Hydration and nutrition recommendations
