Dr. Brandon Larkin - Sports Medicine: December 2014

http://larkinsportsmed.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Dr Brandon Larkin - Sports Medicine. Sunday, December 7, 2014. What To Eat and When To Eat It. For protein, the advice again depends on the individual athlete. More protein is required for athletes in critical growth periods or around puberty. But a good rule of thumb for daily dietary protein intake is 1.2 to 1.7 g/kg/day. 20 to 35% of total calories should come from fat, with less than 10% from saturated fat sources.

Dr. Brandon Larkin - Sports Medicine: January 2015

http://larkinsportsmed.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Dr Brandon Larkin - Sports Medicine. Wednesday, January 14, 2015. Heel Pain in the Young Athlete. Heel pain is one of the most common symptoms I see in young athletes. Often, the pain is so bad that it keeps kids from being able to practice and compete. Occasionally, the heels become so severely painful that it is difficult for the athlete to even walk without limping. So what is the cause of this scourge of the active young athlete? It’s not a growth plate that is active to make a child taller. Cleats i...

Dr. Brandon Larkin - Sports Medicine: July 2014

http://larkinsportsmed.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Dr Brandon Larkin - Sports Medicine. Friday, July 25, 2014. I see a significant number of injuries from soccer in my office. Most of them involve the lower extremities. They may be from a traumatic injury like a kick to the leg or a twist to the knee, or may result from overuse. Sprains of joints and strains of muscles and tendons are the most common injuries, but cartilage tears, fractures and contusions do occur. In these cases, there is no one event that causes the pain. Sometimes I have to put them o...

Dr. Brandon Larkin - Sports Medicine: August 2012

http://larkinsportsmed.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Dr Brandon Larkin - Sports Medicine. Sunday, August 5, 2012. Feelin’ Hot, Hot, Hot! This summer in the Midwest sure has been a hot one. Thankfully, a break in the oppressive temperatures appears to be here—just in time for the start of the high school fall sports practice season. While the weather will be relatively cooler, two-a-day practices on days with highs in the 90s and high humidity still put athletes at risk for heat injury. Body fluid and critical electrolytes are lost in the process. Additiona...

Dr. Brandon Larkin - Sports Medicine: February 2015

http://larkinsportsmed.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Dr Brandon Larkin - Sports Medicine. Sunday, February 8, 2015. Knee pain is by far the most common issue I see in my sports medicine practice. In children and adolescents, pain may be the result of acute trauma or repetitive overuse. And sometimes, it’s both. An athlete may be nursing a chronic injury that becomes more severe due to a traumatic event. Now the athlete has worsening pain, swelling, instability, and stiffness. That’s usually when they come in to see me. Maybe even you or your child! We&#821...

Dr. Brandon Larkin - Sports Medicine: August 2014

http://larkinsportsmed.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Dr Brandon Larkin - Sports Medicine. Monday, August 25, 2014. I Just Got My Bell Rung.". I recently had the opportunity to speak with the coaches of the Tony Glavin Soccer Club. A concussion is a traumatic injury to the brain. It can occur from a blow to the head or even to the body if that hit causes movement of the brain inside the skull. It results in any number of symptoms because of a change in how the brain is working. And you don’t have to get knocked out to have a concussion. These can include ba...

Dr. Brandon Larkin - Sports Medicine: Attack of the Common Cold

http://larkinsportsmed.blogspot.com/2015/03/attack-of-common-cold.html

Dr Brandon Larkin - Sports Medicine. Sunday, March 15, 2015. Attack of the Common Cold. The symptoms of URI include a variety of complaints like cough, nasal congestion, sneezing, sore throat, runny nose, muscle aches, and fever. Taking into account the history of the illness and how long it has been present helps to make the diagnosis. Occasionally, lab tests for strep, influenza, or mononucleosis may be ordered if those illnesses are suspected. I often am asked for antibiotics for common URI illnesses.
