Little Leaguer's Elbow - NBC12.com - Richmond, VA News
Sports medicine expert, Dr. Larry Benson is watching out for little leaguer's elbow.
This is usually caused by overuse of the medial elbow from throwing too much at a young age and throwing pitches (such as curve balls) that the young elbow can't handle.
Watching a young athlete's pitch count is very important.
If pain occurs, stop throwing. Ice, NSAIDS, follow up with a physician for further treatment and protocol.
