Sports Medicine Bible : Prevent, Detect, and Treat Your Sports Injuries Through the Latest Medical Techniques

Description:

Out of the lifestyle revlutiion of the past quarter century has emerged a new kindof recreational athlete,oen more likely to pursue a physical activity that brings health benefits than to tackle a traditional "rough-and-tumble" sport. As a result, "overuse" or "chronic" injuries, such as "runner's knee" and "swimmer's shoulder", are increasingly replacing sprains, strains, and breaks as the badge of the weekend Warrior.

The sports medicine profession has responded to the rise in overuse injuries by placing greater emphasis on injury prevention, developing new diagnostic and treatment techniques, and promoting rehabilitation as an aid to full recovery. This is what Dr. Lyle J. Micheli, one of the nation's foremost sports medicine authorities, calls the "new sports medicine."

In The Sports Medicine Bible, Dr. Micheli responds to the need for more and better answers to the questions posed by recreational athletes desperate for sound medical advice that will help them return to their physical regimens as quickly as possible. He emphasizes strength and flexibility as the keys to injury prevention, encourages early motion rather than immobilization during the rehabilitation process, and recommends other proven techniques that are replacing the sports medicine techniques of past generations.

This book covers the whole spectrum of sports medicine, including special sections on nutrition, female-specific sports injuries, exercise and the elderly, structuring a workout, flexibility and strength, clothing and footwear, and proper equipment. Separate chapters examine causes and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of injuries to the foot; ankle; lower leg; knee; thigh; hip, pelvis, and groin; back; shoulder; elbow; wrist; hand and finger; head and neck; and skin.

By following the guidance and guidelines embodied in The Sports Medicine Bible, the recreational athlete can heighten his or her fitness experience, while learning the most modern techniques for effectively managing sports injuries. Written in clear, straightforward language with hundreds of illustrations, The Sports Medicine Bible is destined to become an essential piece of equipment in every athlete's gym bag.

5.0 out of 5 stars Massage bible

S.L. · June 7, 2025

The most useful book of ever purchased. It helped me to identify many issues in my clients.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's doing the job on various little injuries

p. · January 10, 2013

I had a pulled hip flexor that I couldn't seem to do anything about; every stretch, everything else I tried just made it worse. and worse to the point of becoming blinding, screaming pain. Not a good situation.Not wanting to wait a couple weeks to get in to see a doctor, and knowing that the doc would just prescribe physical therapy, I thought I'd try to find something that would work in a book or two. (Note: This wasn't emergency-room serious; I was pretty sure that if I found the right book, I'd be able to handle this myself.)I'm usually hesitant to try anything that claims to be a "bible", but from the reviews, I thought this might be the right one to try.It was. A couple days following the book's recommendations on handling this sort of injury, and I knew I was on the right track. Within a week, it was pretty much back to normal.Now this is my go-to reference when something hurts. Now I'm working through some of the recommendations on preventing injuries. This is a very handy book to have.

I bought this book for a high school junior taking sports medicine. It is well organized and contained the information she needed. As a pharmacist and a mom, I wish I had this on hand back when my kids were first in t-ball then soccer etc. It gives common sense information and approaches to very often seen injuries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful for every member of the family

J. · April 15, 2015

This is an excellent book. It cover all types of sports injuries, knees, feet, wrist, etc., but also hurts and pains that can result from other activities. It seems everyone in the family gets some sort of injury or ache or pain from time to time that this book is useful for. I often use it to try to figure out if a pain or injury to myself or a family member is something we can self treat, or we need to see an orthopedist. It is well laid out, easy to understand, and appears to have good medical advice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Money saver

S.D.O. · November 10, 2010

I had bought this book many years ago (when I was studing Sport Medicine). I lost the original. However, recently, my wife fell and injured her knee. Remembering how excellent this book was from years ago, I bought it again, but this time for my wife. This book has saved us hundreds of dollars by not having to go to a physical therapist. My wife is doing the excercises recommended in the book and is doing much better. I HIGHLY recommend this book. The only down fall (and it's not a big deal), is that all photos are black and white.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative

P.E. · April 18, 2014

This is an excellent book for anyone involved in sports or just everyday exercises.It answers a lot of questions before you go to consult with your doctor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reccomended for aging sport folks folks, even if just to be able to talk to your doc or physical therapist.

An excellent resource for aging old farts like !!!! I know we will be using it often. I recommend to help anyone aging to figure out what they did wrong to cause the ouweeee and how to restrengthen it!

20 years old but still worth a look

K. · December 9, 2016

Much of the information on stretching and warmups is erroneous but the rest of the book is a good read albeit a good 20 years old. The book is listed on the Stadion website (ie Tom Kurz's site) and needs to be updated there, as well.DO NOT buy it at anywhere near full price due to the age of the information.
