Sports injuries are suffered by an estimated 4.4 million Americans annually at a cost of $18 billion. Among the most common injuries are foot and ankle sprains, shin splints, runner's knee, pulled hamstring muscles, Achilles tendinitis, tennis elbow, and "Little League elbow." Many sports injuries can be prevented, and new treatments are helping athletes recover faster and more completely than ever before. Sports Injuries Sourcebook describes the causes, treatments, and rehabilitation of common sports injuries. It provides information about preventing injuries in many different sporting activities. The book also covers groups with special concerns, including young athletes, senior citizens, and women. A glossary of terms and a directory of organizational resources are also presented.
