Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Griffith, a former Florida State University sports physician and author of the Complete Guide to Prescription and Non-Prescription Drugs and the Complete Guide to Symptoms, Illnesses & Surgery, has compiled a hefty and accessible handbook on injuries and illnesses that result from vigorous physical activity and competitive sports. In encyclopedic form, he packs an array of concise information on causes, symptoms and treatment into a series of charts enhanced by detailed anatomical drawings. A chapter prescribing rehabilitation programs in each of 13 areas of the body, a glossary of medical terms and appendixes on nutrition, hygiene, drugs, etc., nicely round out the guide.

By A Customer
This review is from: Comp gd sports injuries rev (Paperback)
This is a useful introductory level book providing an overview of a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries. This is not a book for those involved in the field of sports medicine.

By Good Chemistry "Diane" (Connecticut) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Comp gd sports injuries rev (Paperback)
I originally got this book many years ago when the kids were in team sports and "sporting" sprains and twists of all sorts. They are grown up now, but still ask to look up stuff in this book. It is an excellent reference book and allows offers great self-help advice.
