MOR sports medicine physicians Dr. Bernard Bach, Dr. Charles Bush-Joseph, and Dr. Kathy Weber were featured on Comcast SportsNet, SportsNite to discuss the STOP Sports Injuries Campaign.

Sports medicine orthopaedic surgeons have seen two trends emerge recently: a rapid rise in the number of youth sports injures and a drop in the age of young athletes with overuse injuries. These trends are fueled by a lack of proper injury prevention education.
