Dr. Gregory S Motley MD's Expert Contributions
  • Can my son wait to have ACL surgery?

    It depends on multiple Variables especially if isolated or other injuries with ACL and how much it swells and can they get the knee STRAIGHT. In my experience at UK, Duke, Baylor and as a former athlete. If they can get the leg straight, minimal swelling and start a strengthening program then delay can be considered. If they have swelling, can’t get straight, then surgery is recommended As soon as Ready. The Corona virus is a Serious problem and must be respected, But if surgery is necessary and if your hospital is protecting patients like mine is then IF surgery is Indicated then further Harm can occur with Delay. The patient, family and physician should make that decision based on where their hospital is Right Now to make a Well Informed decision together READ MORE

  • How long is the healing period of a torn ACL?

    Depends on your other injuries but the Earlier you get surgery, the the Earlier you are headed to return to getting well and return to school, healing, rehabilitation. The NFL has great data on return to play but these are professional athletes working out 3 times a Day with professional trainers and average return is 7.4 months. DEPENDS on Each athlete and how well they heal and how well their support system is at home, school, teachers, coaches, and friends. It takes Strong determination and a good Team to help anyone return back to 100% READ MORE

  • Is an ankle sprain serious?

    Yes You can have ligament injury or bone fracture and because your competitive and if like me Adrenalin Player. XRAY and clinical exam can rule out a lot and Physical exam by expert is very accurate. ASO ANKLE BRACESwill be critical for your return with a Preventitive Ankle Brace. One our studies shows Large increase in Re-Injury 75% if no Rehab or protective brace WITHIN 2 months of Intial injry! READ MORE

  • How can I deal with post workout muscle pain?

    Fluid Hydration with Supplement Electolytes and Recovery Meal Plan is the first key. Second a recovery workout with Bike, swimming and then Stretching Program with multiple times a day evening and nite. I also believe in Massage by an expert to help the muscles rid themselves of toxins that cause pain and New Recovery programs with Breathing are the NEXT FUTURE!!! Breathe out your toxins and breathe recovery!!! READ MORE

  • Are there any anti-inflammatory medicines I can take after running?

    Yes but I would try a mixed approach with Pre-planning with Appropriate Pre-game/Run meal with appropriate meal 3-4 hours PRIOR and use anti-inflammatory before workout/Race followed by 1000 mg of Tylenol every 2 hours for Maximum 24 hr dose equal to 3000mg per Day! Good luck READ MORE

  • How long should I wait before eating after finishing a game?

    Start immediately with small meal but more electrolyte type drink Gatorade or Poweaide then slowly add salted type meal in small portions. After recovering to baseline core body temperature and feeling refreshed, then you can progress back to usual diet. A lot of science out there on Recovery drinks, shakes and foods. Eat what you want after you are recovered 2 hours after major competition. Then start back don a Nutriotion based meal plan based on YOUR sports demand! READ MORE

  • Left shoulder wider than right shoulder. What are the possible reasons?

    You have a compression occurring on your brachial plexus and possibly a congenital vascular system causing this. Your clavicle without history of contact hit like my broken clavicle at LSU nite football game still with a bump, but yours could be an exostosis, or benign or worse growth on it affecting this side, I recommend immediate evaluation as you know this is not normal and noticeable. Get It worked up Now! READ MORE

  • What does sports rehabilitation include?

    Rehab treats all types of injuries from an injury requiring No surgery but healing time, rehab time, then strengthening timer to Fina Return To Play period where the athlete is TESTED in a Safe environment! Surgical injuries are 100% different with different Goals during the First 6 weeks and RTP is prolonged but necessary for Confidence Building and Appropriate Strength, coordination and Balance!! ATC and licensed PT have skill sets that help these youn athletes achieve their goals! Sports psychology is a key Skill set for short and Long term success!! READ MORE

  • I have sore knees from running. Will ice compression help?

    RICENT Rest Ice Compression NSAIDs & Tylenol are great conservative approach. But you might need a Limb alignment XRAY and look how your knees are affected by leg alignment. It also depends on your weight and Gait mechanics. READ MORE

  • How should I prevent any knee injuries while playing hockey?

    You need to be fitted by a professional much like the NFL and NCAA teams wear! Over the counter OTC are good braces for 60% of athletes but You need a Top of the Line Professional Brave fitted to you specifically READ MORE

  • I have a pins and needles feeling while doing yoga. What can I do?

    Depends if new or all the time and also where the tingling occurs. If you are in an extreme range of motion is used then sometimes the nerve is just getting pulled to tight. Other option is “VARIABLE” genetic make up of muscles and do the pinch the nerve by certain positions compressing the nerve! READ MORE

  • While swimming I hit my head on the wall. What should I do?

    I have done that more times than I want to admit. If you did not have any symptoms of concussion.....Down load Free app ConcussionMD and read RTP criteria. The bump itself is in material if no other symptoms. READ MORE

  • Is it safe to play badminton after a hand fracture?

    No Needs to have a Slow 2-4 week Return to play with MVT and calcium / Vitamin D with shot of orange juice. Start a grip strengthening program and if it is not sore every day after then 4 weeks to prevent RE-BREAK or. STRESS fracture by not staging his return. You are the boss of this man so explain he had to work and and he needs to Prepare All the bones in his hand for return to play! My wife did this and “She was right” not me the “Expert” READ MORE

  • Should PT be recommended in any sport for any age?

    Yes because most athletes in the ages 30-60 donot follow a specific sport training program and more importantly learning from an expert about what to do and what not to do is well worth the time to prevent injury READ MORE
