12/19/2015 #555: Hyper-Competent and Confident

Dr. TO Souryal

Today’s themes include: the holidays, of course, and DR. SOURYAL IS NOT RETIRED; he is busier than ever! Confident and competent Doctors Bellard and Souryal get right on the phone calls, starting with a man who cannot lift his arm above shoulder height, a 65 year old Silver Sneakers card recipient who wonders what his a positional click and pain while swimming could indicate, and a father asking about the downsides of delaying an MRI for his 16 year old daughter after her martial arts injury.

A runner has foot pain after a steroid shot and discovers the shot may not have treated the real problem, which leads to a long discussion about pro players with similar injuries. Another caller has two torn rotator cuffs and asks if they can still be repaired five years later, then there are questions about the efficacy of surgeries for hip labral tears. Amy Goddard, physical therapist at GO Sports Therapy is on late in the show to discuss the modalities she uses to give her clients high-quality care. The benefits of cryotherapy and hyperbaric therapy on healing after an injury or post-op are explained, there is a text from far off cocoa drinkers, and the usual scuttlebutt is exchanged. Fa la la la la to you!

08/15/15 #542: Rehab is Vital

Dr. TO Souryal

Our first caller is recovering from a run-in, or a run-over, with a steer and asks for ideas to speed up his return to mobility. PT specialist Dr. Craig Garrison joins the good Dr. Souryal in the first hour and explains some current practical methods trainers use from weigh-ins to check hydration levels in athletes to “dry needling” and trendy acupuncture. In the Business of Medicine segment, the doctors discuss physical therapy and insurance limitations, efficiency, and value.

Must we mention urine? Yes, indeed! Sports medicine specialist Dr. Brad Bellard comes on in the second hour to advise how to get the most out of PT sessions and help answer callers’ questions. A concerned wife describes her husband’s hip injury and arthritis and wonders if his fall made his arthritis worse or if PT may be making his injury worse. A 42 year old wants to work but his severe back pain and degenerative disease holds him back. Dr. Souryal assures him that he is doing all the right things but needs a clear diagnosis to get on track. A young weightlifter has a “textbook” shoulder pain, a motocross racer asks about an old spinal injury that still causes problems, and a runner has achilles trouble.

06/15/15 #538: Let Us Entertain (and Inform) You

Dr. TO Souryal

Dr. Scott Blumenthal, world-renowned spine surgeon, joins Dr. T.O. Souryal and his merry crew for this week’s sports medicine call-in show. The doctors discuss the psychology of sports, the many “two types” of people, why it takes so long to get discharged from a hospital, the pros and cons of long sleepless shifts for doctors in training, and more.

Vertigo may not be a primary complaint in sports medicine, but sure can complicate your game, as pro golfer Jason Day can attest. Dr. Neil Williams, Ear Nose and Throat specialist, shares his insights on the common sensation and symptom of vertigo.

The calls keep coming. In the first hour, a marathon runner and cyclist has sharp pains in his ankle/calf that could be a stress fracture or achilles injury, and a father asks for a clear explanation of chronic tendonitis or tendonosis. The doctors question whether a “twisted hip” is the right or even a real diagnosis for one woman, and discuss whether regular use of an inversion table could be healthy for spines.

In the second hour, the conversation starts on the Hope or Hype of PRP and Stem Cell treatments, then an active lawyer has some longterm collarbone issues he attributes to asymmetry, and the son of an 89 year old with cervical stenosis has questions about surgery that aims relieve his Dad’s weakness and inability to walk. The next caller asks if treating his dislocated shoulder could have affected, or even cured, his digestive problems, and a 58 year old is weighing all his options on treating his knee troubles before the last resort: a knee replacement.
