The Jock Doc’s Body Repair Kit: The New Sports Medicine for Recovery and Increased Performance Review

Although I have not yet purchased this book (I am right now!) I have become a huge believer as of today. I left St Vincent’s hospital less than 6 hours ago after Dr. Feldman performed Shoulder Arthroscopy on me to help correct a repetitive injury.

I did not even know he was a writer as well, until EVERY HOSPITAL STAFF MEMBER commented to me how he is truly the best in the business from New York. I feel truly lucky and blessed that I found the perfect surgeon to help me heal.

Once I finish reading the book, I will write a review on more than just the man’s skills & helpful insight.

The Jock Doc’s Body Repair Kit: The New Sports Medicine for Recovery and Increased Performance Overview

The Jock Doc’s Body Repair Kit combines a lively armchair tour of the human anatomy with tons of sane and step-by-step advice on preventing and treating sports-related injuries–from neck to toes. Andrew Feldman, M.D., Director of Sports Medicine at New York’s St. Vincent’s Hospital, is an avid athlete who knows the discomfort and frustration of all kinds of injuries firsthand. Of the thousands of patients he treats each year, many of them, says Dr. Feldman, could have avoided worry and expense with just a little information on how to safely diagnose and treat injuries at home. Here, he distills over fifteen years of medical (and personal!) experience into this user-friendly, utterly reliable, and often humorous guide that takes the white coat pomposity out of sports medicine and gets you back into the game.

The Jock Doc’s Body Repair Kit is essential for any athlete who shoots hoops, hits the slopes, hangs ten, or anything in between.

Dr. Andrew Feldman has been where you may be: he’s had enough athletic injuries to sideline any team of recreational athletes–torn ligaments, a separated shoulder, broken fingers, a dozen -itises–he even broke his nose twice (once while lifting weights, he’s not too embarrassed to admit). That’s just a small fraction of what he’s seen while wearing the white coat, but it still helped lead him to this somewhat reassuring hypothesis: 90 percent of all sports injuries are the same. That is, the pattern of damage and the recovery rate are entirely predictable. You think it’s unique because it has happened to you, but in reality it’s something an experienced sports-medicine doctor has seen lots of times.

So Feldman’s book takes you through each sports-injury zone–shoulders, back, knees and elbows, ankles and wrists, hands and feet–and presents a systematic way to get through all the possible problems until you figure out which one applies to you. He explains the treatments you might receive if the injury is sufficiently serious to warrant medical attention, and what’s involved in the rehab process, including stretches and strengthening exercises.

Feldman also makes sure you’re entertained along the way, sharing personal experiences and cracking jokes. You’ll laugh through the tears caused by whatever injury brought you to this book in the first place. –Lou Schuler

The Anatomy of Stretching Review

The Ananotmy of Stretching was recommended to me by my Trainer and my Massage Therapist. It is excellent. The illustrations and narratives are perfect for anyone whether you know anything about which muscle is which or not. Especially helpful are the crossreferences for aches and pains or diagnosed muscle / joint problems and which stretches to do and those to avoid.

Handbook of Clinical Chiropractic Care, Second Edition Review

Handbook of Clinical Chiropractic Care, Second Edition Overview

The second edition of the Handbook of Clinical Chiropractic Care is a concise, quick-access handbook that covers the more common conditions seen in a chiropractic practice. Where possible, an evidence-based approach is presented, but it must be understood that a purely evidence-based practice is impossible to achieve in any form of health care. Instead the clinician must use the best available evidence, clinical experience and a “pinch” of intuition to manage his/her patients.

This is a handy reference that provides a library of practical information in a single volume! When you need fast, up-to-date information on specific treatment techniques such as orthopedic testing and contraindications for manipulation, or information to assist in analyzing test results, this is the first place to turn. Absolutely packed with charts, tables, and algorithms for quick reference.

Great investment. With The Complete Equine Veterinary Manual I can pre-diagnose my Equine friends without having to make a run to the Veterinary Clinic or calling my Vet every time.

Introduction:

Osgood-Schlatters disease is a traction apophysitis of the tibial tubercle of the knee and tends to affect athletically active adolescents during their secondary growth spurts1. It is a painful and extremely limiting condition and is the most common overuse injury in this age group2. The current standard treatment is to allow the athlete to self-manage pain and activity levels, but the documented history of this condition records patients having to refrain from physical activity for an average of 21 months3. The object of this pilot study was to investigate the dual influence of myofascial release massage and stretching of the quadriceps group on the speed of recovery of patients with Osgood Schlatter.

Method:

25 patients were referred for physiotherapy treatment for Osgood Schlatter (6 female, aged 11.6 ±1.5SD; 19 male, aged 13 ± 1.6). Onset of symptoms ranged from acute (1 week) to chronic (36 months) with an average of 8 months. Initial measurements of functional tendon loading using a standing wall slide test4 were taken for all subjects. This test was then repeated at regular intervals. Massage was performed daily for 2 minutes, either by the physiotherapist or parent who had been taught the technique. Once pain free knee flexion was achieved, active stretching was then performed daily by the patient instead of the Massage. Statistical analysis was performed to determine any significance between subsequent recordings using one-tailed t-tests.

Results:

All patients achieved a full wall squat in an average of 20 days (±12) with a maximum of 50. The improvement in wall slide was significant to 98% (p

This is Cari Ham’s second attempt at going for a run after her achilles tendon rupture 6 months ago. She is coming along quickly in her healing and has been walking the Beagles every other day and now attempting to go running every 3-4 days from here on out. The Achilles Tendon rupture is a nasty rupture that takes plenty of time to heal 100%. Recently, David Beckham tore his achilles tendon playing soccer and we heard that they are predicting a 5 month recovery for him. I presume that with the type of attention that David Beckham can draw via personal assistants, doctors, ect.. he may be close to getting that 5 month mark, although it just depends on how fast his body heals. The Doctor told Cari that there is little that she could do to speed up her recovery, yet plenty she can do to slow it down! So, Good Luck David Beckham, we feel for you!

The following are a combination of treatment methods that work together to heal your tennis elbow. Tennis elbow treatment should be like any other soft tissue injury treatment, and therefore will require using the following process:

· R.I.C.E.R:

o Rest:

Resting your injury is essential for your tennis elbow before you attempt to fix it with physical therapy.

o Ice:

Doctors always recommend that you keep ice on any serious muscle or tendon injury to reduce the swelling–it will help your injury heal as well as reducing inflammation.

(side note:) Another tennis elbow treatment that will help you is, if you do take pain medication: avoid aspirin, acetaminophen, and other fever reducer/antipyretic. Instead use something with an anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen, to keep the swelling down.

o Compression:

Get a wrap for your arm and wrist. This is another way to keep the swelling down and to keep your muscles and tendons from being further abused by helping keep them compressed and in place.

o Elevation:

Whenever you can, try to elevate your injured arm–this will help keep your arm from additional pain and swelling due to too much blood in the injured place. Lifting your arm reduces the amount of blood flowing through the arm.

o Referral:

Do not try to do it all yourself, get a medical specialist to have a look at the injury and determine tennis elbow treatment for you.

When you have to receive tennis elbow treatment for any serious tennis elbow condition–which is considered a Repetitive Stress Injury, (RSI) so as soon as you begin to improve you should start, gently with a couple of resistance tennis elbow exercises. Of course, you want to start simple, and work your way up to things like dumbbells.

If you strain to re-gain strength before the tendons and muscles are ready, you can considerably undo any progress you may have made–or even make the problem worse. Once you can use dumbbells (even very light ones) we suggest that you try various exercises.

For example:

1. Holding a dumbbell in each hand, sit down.

2. Lay your forearms down your thighs.

3. Be sure that your hands are hanging over your knees.

4. Your palms should be facing upwards.

5. Begin by curling the weight upwards at the wrist and lowering slowly.

Another example:

1. Try a simple tennis elbow treatment like squeezing a ball in your hand.

2. Hold the ball firmly as possible (momentarily) before releasing.

You can find great resources and individual instructors who can help you along the way, too. There are a few very good tennis elbow treatments and exercises such as this one that could be great for your tennis elbow.

However, Let your tennis elbow treatment vary depending on how well you feel–but always remember to include a few movements or exercises for tennis elbow treatment as part of your regular schedule twice every day. Your overall strength should get better.

Don’t worry–you can still keep in shape by doing lower body cardiovascular tennis elbow treatments such as running, elliptical exercise, and hiking, etc. Of course, you want to start simple, and work your way up to things like dumbbells.

If you strain in attempt to re-gain strength before the tendons and muscles are ready, you can considerably reverse the progress you might have already made. You could even make the problem worse, causing extra damage by straining the already torn tendon.
