The sports medicine research efforts of Dr. Marc Galloway resulted in the publication of five articles in respected orthopaedic publications.
In the December '01 edition of the American Journal of Sports Medicine, Dr. Marc Galloway released the findings of a study that looked at low back pain in athletes.
"In working with college and high school athletes, it is important to not only manage sports injuries but to also understand how they occur and how to prevent them," said Dr. Galloway.
"Our findings suggest that even among highly motivated athletes eager to return to their sport, those athletes with prior back injuries were at a significantly higher risk for reinjury even after their symptoms had resolved.
This study suggests that we may not understand the causes of low back pain and we may not be rehabilitating them as well as we think we are."
Dr. Galloway completed work on this study while team physician for Yale University.
Dr. Galloway continues his commitment to athletes locally as the team physician at Princeton High School.
In addition to the back injury study, Dr. Galloway's sports medicine research efforts also included the publication of four articles regarding the knee this year.
