Have you ever heard the term arthroscopic surgery and wondered what it actually means?

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows your surgeon to diagnose and treat joint problems using a small camera — all through tiny incisions.

It’s commonly used for the shoulder, knee, hip, and ankle to repair injuries like torn ligaments or cartilage.

A small scope, big results.

We’ve all been there — a tough workout or a new activity leaves you wondering… am I just sore, or is this something more?

Understanding the difference between pain and soreness is important to keeping your body healthy and avoiding injury.

Soreness: feels dull, achy, and improves with rest and movement.

Pain: feels sharp, sudden, or persistent which is often signaling an injury.

If you’re ever unsure, don’t push through it. Our providers are here to help you move, heal, and stay active safely.
