Additionally, if you play or have someone in your family who plays lacrosse, you’ll want to read the article on Illinois high school lacrosse finally getting sanctioned by the Illinois High School Association, and Dr. Steven Chudik’s update on the use of biologics being hyped as a cure for a host of musculoskeletal ailments.
