Sports-related Injuries

Summer is a great time for being outside and all different kinds of sports, but many of us suffer sports-related injuries due to lack of proper training, lack of warm-up, or just being out of shape. Dr. Bill Howard talks about how you and your kids can stay healthy while participating in summer sports.
