Should you use an anti-inflammatory right after acute injury? Come to a debate to hear about it!

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin and ibuprofen, are typically prescribed after an acute injury (e.g. ankle sprain). However, recent evidence suggests that this may not be the best practice. Come listen to a debate about whether NSAIDs should always be used after an acute injury, or rather if there is a time and place where they might be more appropriate. This event is open to everyone (faculty, students, and the public) and we encourage anyone who is (or has family members) involved in sports/athletics, exercise and physical activity, or elderly family members who may be prone to accidental falls. This event is free of charge and hosted by the Kinesiology Postdoctoral Fellows Committee. Come join us on Tuesday March 11th at 3 PM in KNA 160 for an exciting discussion!

Location:

Kinesiology Block A Room 160

Speaker:

Sarah Kerslake (Research Coordinator) from the Banff Sport Medicine Research Group and Dr. Chris Waters-Banker, a postdoctoral fellow in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Certified Athletic Trainer
