PARS injuries or “Spondy” in Athletes

Spondylolysis is a common cause of lower back pain in young athletes. Despite being labeled as a fracture, I suggests, through this article, that it is often a developmental issue rather than a true fracture. Understanding the condition and providing proper treatment and rest are crucial for recovery and a return to play.

Hamstring Strain

The article discusses modern treatment approaches for hamstring strains. It advises against traditional methods like stretching and heat, advocating for ice and low-level contractions instead. I want to emphasize the importance of up-to-date information and insights on injury mechanisms and treatment effectiveness based on recent research. The focus is on faster recovery and better body mapping through neurology for improved assessment and treatment.

Relationships with Athletic Trainers

They are there for protection, treatment, workups, and as a first line of treatment in an emergency.   This year more than at any other time in history, it has been shown that ATs make a difference.  They save lives, speed recovery, win super bowls, change protocols and care.    They care man!
