NO MORE JOINT PAIN
By Joseph Abboud, M.D. and Soo Kim Abboud
Yale University Press (NYP)

NO MORE JOINT PAIN provides readers with a comprehensive and lifelong plan to keep their joints feeling as young as they do. Unlike the vast majority of books available today that concentrate solely on arthritis or disorders specific to a single joint, this book would enable the reader to tackle joint pain and injury caused by a wide variety of common joint, muscle, and ligament disorders. Conditioning exercise techniques to prevent and treat common joint injuries are described for the hip, knee, back, shoulder, elbow, hand/wrist, and foot/ankle. It is a new exercise program that emphasizes strengthening one joint area for each day of the week. By learning to understand how each joint functions and what causes routine wear and tear, readers of all ages and levels of physical fitness will be able to promote joint health by instituting a series of joint- and age-specific conditioning exercises. This book will also inform readers, many of who are spending thousands of dollars on ‘miracle medications’ such as glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, the hard truth about the inefficacy of these wonder drugs. As an orthopedic surgeon at a world-renowned academic center, the author will be able to accurately describe new medical and minimally invasive surgical therapies that do work.
