Season 3, Episode 12 | Podcast #48 Today we are joined by 2 special guests Sports Medicine Physician, Dr. BJ Smith, and Physical Therapist, Ross Nachbi. Today we will be getting into field sports injuries the importance of the gluteus medius in sports medicine injuries. Dr. Bradley "BJ" Smith is a Sports Medicine Physician at the Rothman Institute and currently sees patients at the Limerick, Bryan Mawr, and Wynnewood locations. He graduated from Penn State University and completed medical school at Jefferson Medical College. After completing his residency in Family Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, he completed a Sports Medicine fellowship at Healthplex Sports Medicine of Crozer-Keystone Health System. Dr. Smith brings a total body approach to the treatment of athletes and non-athletes alike. He treats all types of musculoskeletal and orthopedic injuries, from sprains and strains to fractures, pediatric issues to arthritis. Dr. Smith also treats Sports-Related Concussions using the latest techniques, including integrative and complementary methods. I am also joined by Ross Nachbi, Physical Therapist at Ivy Rehab in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. Ross graduated from the University of Rochester with a degree in Brain and Cognitive Science and went on to Northwestern University where he graduated with his doctorate in Physical Therapy. Ross is McKenzie Method Trained and is trained in FMS or functional movement screening as well as SFMA, or selective functional movement assessment. He is also a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS). He is experienced in treating all orthopedic and sports medicine conditions, both operative and non-operative. 4:26 Why Dr. Smith went into the field of sports medicine, what his journey through medical school was like and how being the child of a trauma surgeon impacted his decision. 11:50 How Dr. Smith's training guided him to become the physician he is today and how the whole body approach of sports medicine allows for variety. 12: 00 “If you're thinking about going in a certain area, some niches or specialties may have some things that are really cool but don't think about the coolest thing that you do once in a random while. You have to think what is the 70% of normal mundane stuff like because that's most of what you're going to have. and if you're only getting the really cool stuff every once in a while and the rest of the time you want to stab your eyes out, it's going to be rough.” 15:00 Why sending a patient to a physical therapist that has a background in a similar sport is important and contributes to better outcomes. 19:00 How their treatment approaches have changed since first starting to treat several years ago. 21:00 Why it's so important for sports medicine physicians to have a great relationship with the physical therapist they refer to. 23:00 Direct Access to physical therapy without seeing a doctor and how physical therapists approach that treatment and relationship. 30:00 How good communication and good notes from the physical therapist help avoid a third referral and delay in care. 42:00 “I'm a strong believer that a large portion - probably even the majority - of lower extremity injuries, issues, and complaints are due at least in some part to not enough activation in the gluteus medius” 43:00 Why the gluteus medius not activating enough causes so many issues in the lower body and how lack of lateral movement contributes to this issue. 1:05:00 Why we need to bring back the popularity of the jumping jack. 1:06:00 The best exercises to activate the glute medius 1:13:00 How Dr.Smith implements side-lying hip abductions to treat almost every lower extremity issue.

Dr. James Crownover, an assistant professor of Primary Care Sports Medicine and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Augusta University, joins Drs. Brynn Ehlers and Lauren Lim to discuss the management of pediatric concussions. What exactly is a concussion and when should you be concerned for something more? What are the must-not-miss symptoms and exam findings? What tools are available for the initial sideline assessment of sports-related concussions? Finally, what is the best way to get our pediatric patients back to school and play after suffering a concussion?

How can we keep our kids safe while they play the sports they love?  Today marks the end of Parenting Peak Performer’s 4th season, and as we wrap up, we’re going to pivot away from talking about the coach’s perspective. Instead, we’re closing our season with another vital topic for parents of athletically-involved kids.  Safety.  No incredible athletic achievement is worth it if our kids’ health is at stake.  To help me process how parents can keep their kids safe on the court and field, I’ve brought in Dr. Greg Rubin. Dr. Rubin is a board-certified internal medicine physician with added qualifications in sport medicine. He established and staffs a walk-in clinic in Naples Florida. He’s the co-founder of The Sports Med Review, a website focused on providing open-access information to sports medicine physicians.    In this episode, you’re going to hear Dr. Rubin discuss perhaps the most frequent injury in sports medicine: concussions.  Today, We’re Answering Key Questions about Concussions  What is a concussion? And what is “second impact syndrome?”  How can you identify them?  How should a concussion be treated?  What can parents do to prevent them?  What can we do to speed up recovery?    There’s so much we can do to prevent and treat concussions for young athletes, which is why this episode is absolutely essential for any parent with sports-active children.  Want to join the conversation?

Low-cost mobile tools developed by the University of California, Davis may soon take the guesswork out of current tests for sports-related concussions. Khizer Khaderi, the director of neuro-ophthalmology at the UC Davis Eye Center, found a way to more objectively measure for concussions by assessing the eye-brain connection. "Over a third of the brain is dedicated to your vision. So given my expertise and the study and measurement of vision, so we came up with a device that uses a mobile solution that involves biometrics around different types of eye movements, pupil response and brainwave activity." Current cognitive tests compare results to previous baseline measurements. But players who want to stay in the game can deliberately fudge those baseline tests so if an injury does occur, their results are not too different from their baseline scores. "The current screening that's going on with cognitive testing is great, I mean it’s better than having nothing and what we’re trying to do is just continue to improve that process with this solution that we’re proposing and we’re going to be testing this fall."
