FOR THE FIRST TIME–A REVOLUTIONARY HOME PROGRAM THAT ACTUALLY REVERSES JOINT DISEASE

The human body contains one hundred and forty-three joints–those intricately fashioned connections that enable us to sit, walk, drive, chew, type an e-mail, and perform the thousands of other activities that occupy us every day. Though joints are designed to remain strong and flexible for a lifetime, in fact, joint problems are the leading cause of disability in the world. Until recently, medicine offered the millions of Americans suffering from osteoarthritis, rheumatic arthritis, gout, and many other acutely painful rheumatic ailments only a modicum of relief. Now, at last, there’s good news!

This groundbreaking book features the landmark study in which gelatin supplements not only helped patients relieve pain but actually restored their joints to better health. Dr. James Rippe presents a highly effective eight-week home program created specifically to increase the strength and flexibility of your joints. Inside you will discover

• Easy tests that measure your current joint health
• The various causes of and risk factors for joint problems
• Foods, supplements, and herbs that help prevent joint degeneration
• Exercises that reduce pain and increase your mobility
• Everyday activities that help keep your joints strong and lubricated
• Alternative practices that support your joint-health regimen
• The pros and cons of prescription drugs

The Joint Health Prescription is based on striking new thinking about joint disease–and everything you need to know to begin this safe and balanced program is here. In as little as eight weeks, you can regain freedom of movement and freedom from pain for a fuller, healthier, more active life.

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

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

See more picture

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.
