Injuries & Prevention
  • Concussions
    A summary is based on “Concussion Information for Athletes” by Dr. Karen Johnson et al. The full article appears on the ThinkFirst-SportSmart Concussion Education and Awareness Program.
  • Helmets
    There has been a marked increase in the popularity and acceptance of helmets in the last few years, and for good reason.
  • Pain in the Knee
    Knee problems account for at least a third of the cases I see in my sport medicine practice. Many of these result from injuries in soccer, hockey or skiing, while the rest are due to gradual wear and tear.
  • Shoulder Pain
    One of the most common problems that I deal with in my sport medicine practice is shoulder dysfunction. In this article I will review some of the common shoulder problems and discuss ways of treating and preventing them.
  • Osteoarthritis
    Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and sooner or later, most of us will be affected in one or another of our joints.
