Is your child at risk for an overuse baseball throwing injury? ⚾️💪

Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit (GIRD) is a common issue in young throwing athletes, especially pitchers. It’s a loss of shoulder rotation that can increase the risk of shoulder and elbow injuries. But here’s the good news: there’s a simple test you can do at home to check for it! 🏠✅

Here’s how to test your child’s shoulder rotation:
1️⃣ Have your child lie flat on their back with their throwing arm extended out to the side, elbow bent at 90 degrees.
2️⃣ Stabilize their shoulder by gently pressing down on it with one hand.
3️⃣ With your other hand, slowly rotate their forearm backward (toward the ground) as far as it comfortably goes.
4️⃣ Compare the range of motion to their non-throwing arm.
5️⃣ If the throwing arm has 15-20 degrees (or more) less internal rotation than the non-throwing arm, it could indicate GIRD.

Swipe through this carousel to see visuals of each step and learn what to do if you find a deficit. Prevention and early intervention are key to keeping young athletes healthy and thriving. Don’t wait until it’s too late - take action now! 💙

There is no "break" in All Star Break for NBA Docs. So what do we do?

We meet as a group and work to improve our care of the players through collaboration, research and data analysis. This was one of my favorite parts of becoming a team doc as I get to meet some of the leaders in the field from the across the country. I always learn something new that can help all of my patients and we get to stay updated from league on the big things they are planning for the near future.

Enjoy your all star break/valentines day/presidents day! 😎

Should he have been disqualified? 🤔

AI chatbots might sound confident when answering health questions, but here’s the truth: confidence doesn’t equal accuracy. Just like Dr. Google, they can lead you down the wrong path.

Medicine is full of nuance, it’s an art as much as it is a science. While algorithms can help with things like image recognition or lab tests, they often miss the bigger picture. That’s why it’s so important to find a good local doctor who can put all the pieces together for you.

Use AI as a conversation starter, not the final answer. Your health deserves more than a chatbot’s guess. 💙
