RALEIGH, N.C. -- The NC State Sports Medicine Department not only takes care of Wolfpack student-athletes, but wants to help athletes of all ages stay safe and healthy. Certified Athletic Trainers (ATCs) help athletes and everyday people stay in the game. You'll find ATCs at schools, sports medicine clinics, in the professional ranks and in the workplace. Wherever you need them, ATCs are helping active people stay active.

The NC State Sports Medicine staff, as well as the National Athletic Trainers' Association, wants to help you keep you and your kids healthy. Everyone knows that "Big Time" athletes are well cared for when it comes to injuries, but who's taking care of your kids? Pro teams and most universities have certified athletic trainers on staff, but that's not always true at high schools where ATCs are needed to help kids prevent, treat and rehabilitate injuries. Contact a certified athletic trainer in your area for more information.
