During the past decade, the primary care physician has played a pivotal role in the evolution of sports medicine as a discipline that can benefit patients of all ages. Sports Medicine for the Primary Care Physician, Third Edition provides the latest information on major topics in sports science and clinical medicine that affect primary care physicians. This third edition updates all chapters with current scientific data and incorporates information drawn from evidence-based medicine. It also includes a revised and streamlined medical illness section, as well as new chapters on radiology and complementary and alternative medicine.
