Spring Sports Safety: Preventing and Treating Common Injuries (2026 Stats & Tips)

Spring sports season brings a surge in sprains, strains, fractures, and concussions, especially among young athletes returning to activity after winter downtime. About 34.5% of high school sports injuries require X-ray assessment, and the most common issues include ankle sprains, muscle strains, stress fractures, and overuse injuries.
