In fact, I think it should be a required text in chiropractic school. Furthermore, any diplomate in sports, nutrition, orthopedics, or even neurology who doesn't have this book in their library is making a big mistake. I hope this series is as interesting and informative to the readers as it has been for myself. Yes, very much so. That, of course, is for fairly extensive trauma like a femur fracture or a serious automobile accident.
Chiropractors treat a lot of auto accident patients.
I think you need to get up to at least double the RDA, around 2 gm of protein per kilogram of body weight. You can do the same thing for about one-tenth the cost with protein powder. As long as your digestive system is in fairly good shape, it will take care of the protein. That depends on the severity of the injury and other deficiencies. It's really difficult to give a ballpark recommendation, but the body is remodeling for up to a year after an injury.
