ESports Medicine

In the world of sports medicine, I’m sure there are many who would question whether Esports should be considered an actual sport. Interestingly, I don’t think many of us would argue that cheerleading is a sport. However, many of us aren’t advocating to our state high school athletic associations to get it considered a sport in their eyes.

Esports continue to grow. There are numerous concerns an Esport participant may face, and it’s certainly beyond the cute terms reported in the literature such as “Nintendinitis” or “Wii-itis” or “Wii knee” or “Playstation Thumb.” Today on the Podcast, we are going to discuss Esports and Esport injuries with a group of experts who run an Esports medicine program.
