Since primary care clinicians manage most sports injuries, athletic injuries are discussed in depth. In addition to sprains, strains, and fractures, chapters cover illnesses affecting the musculoskeletal system, various types of arthritis, fibromyalgia, and the complex regional pain syndrome. The pocket-sized book will appeal to a range of family care providers.
