Chapter 2 Drug Names and References • • • Back in the Game Sports Medicine is a clinic dedicated to the treatment of physical injuries to the body. Caring for an injured body involves more than making the diagnosis; it's about understanding and treating the cause to prevent future injuries. The clinic addresses variety of injuries to the body whether it be from a car accident to over-use trauma. When injuries occur, it is no longer enough for people to "take it easy for awhile" or "work through it." PHYSICIAL THERAPY We believe that the true goal of physical therapy involves restoration of function through neuromuscular re-education and specialized manual techniques. These techniques restore movement, balance and quality of life. At Back in the Game, we go a step further and instruct people how to keep their bodies stronger and healthier. We do this by teaching proper body mechanics and developing personalized exercises that will help prevent re-injury. At Back In The Game, it's all about you. You're the reason we're here. The entire visit is centered around giving you an experience uncommon in today's impersonal medical world. We recognize that you are a unique human being with specific needs which require talented people who truly care and we strive to deliver this care in a professional, yet comfortable environment. Dr. Lambert, a state licensed Chiropractic Physician, who has training in sports medicine, heads Back In The Game. 2 Pharmacology • Study of drugs – Origin, nature, properties, and effects on living organisms • Drug references • Classifications • Continuity in use of identifying terms Classifications • Classified by effect on the body • Need to know characteristics of major drug classifications • Use of prototype or model Presented for Dr. Ryan Bellacov, chiropractor in West Linn, Oregon.
