New blog post written by Dr. Buckner. As a former baseball player he has special interest in shoulder injuries- Not only throwers but other overhead athletes and even regular people dealing with rotator cuff, labral or other shoulder problems. Check the website for the full blog post.

Blog Post Recap:

Throwing isn’t just an arm movement — it’s a full-body skill.
As pitching velocity and year-round play increase, shoulder and elbow injuries in young athletes are rising fast. Research shows that limitations in hips, core, balance, and shoulder mobility can dramatically increase injury risk — even before pain shows up.

A structured arm care and movement program can reduce shoulder and elbow injuries by nearly 50% by identifying problems early and building stronger, more resilient athletes.

Stronger movement = healthier arms.
👉 Read the full blog to learn how movement assessments and individualized arm care help pitchers stay healthy and perform better.

Many types of meniscus tears don’t need surgery.
New research from JAMA, NEJM, and BJSM continues to show that structured rehab works just as well as arthroscopy for most degenerative tears—and avoids the long-term risks of meniscectomy- (acceleration of arthritis)

I just published a new blog post breaking down:
✔️ When orthopedic referral is needed
✔️ What symptoms actually matter
✔️ Three rehab programs you can start today (PDF links in post)
✔️ Why routine meniscectomy is no longer recommended for degenerative tears
