Clinical Sports Medicine, Medical Management and Rehabilitation, Textbook with CD-ROM

Only a fraction of sports medicine injuries require surgery, but most sports references emphasize surgical management over medical management and rehabilitation.

Clinical Sports Medicine: Medical Management and Rehabilitation is the only comprehensive sports medicine resource to focus on the medical management and rehabilitation of patients. Written by some of the most prominent names in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, this book fills a void by providing an outstanding sports medicine reference aimed at non-surgeons. The international contributors to this book present you with global best practices from world leaders in the field. The main focus lies on the practical information you need to implement the most effective non-surgical management and rehabilitation approaches for today's diverse patient population.
