Diabetes doesn’t just affect blood sugar — it can impact your joints, too.

Research shows nearly half of adults living with diabetes also have arthritis or chronic joint pain. High blood sugar can increase inflammation and damage cartilage, which may speed up joint wear and tear over time.

The good news? Managing blood sugar, staying active, and getting the right orthopedic care can help protect your joints and keep you moving.

If you’re managing diabetes and noticing joint pain, you don’t have to push through it alone. Our specialists are here to help you stay strong, mobile, and doing what you love. Call us at (407) 977-4130.

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is often dismissed as a random orthopedic issue — but growing evidence shows a strong link between menopause and shoulder stiffness/pain.

During perimenopause and menopause, declining estrogen levels can increase inflammation and affect connective tissue elasticity. For many women, this shows up as:

• Shoulder pain without a clear injury
• Progressive stiffness and loss of range of motion
• Difficulty with everyday tasks like dressing, reaching, or sleeping

The condition typically develops in stages and can last months — sometimes longer — if not addressed early.

The encouraging news:
✔ Gentle, consistent movement matters
✔ Targeted stretching can improve mobility
✔ Early evaluation helps prevent long-term stiffness

Frozen shoulder isn’t “just aging” — and it isn’t something women should power through or ignore. Awareness, early intervention, and the right care approach can make a meaningful difference in recovery and quality of life.

🎄🍪 It’s the most wonderful time of the year… for snacking.

Holiday treats are everywhere—and while we’re not here to ruin the fun, your knees definitely feel the extra love.

Here’s the not-so-fun math:
👉 Every extra pound of body weight adds about 4–6 pounds of pressure to your knees with every step.

That means:
• +10 pounds = 40–60 extra pounds on your knees
• Stairs? That pressure jumps to 2–3x your body weight
• Squatting? Up to 5x the pressure 😬

The good news?
💡 Losing just ONE pound takes 4–6 pounds of pressure off your knees
💡 Even a 5–10% weight loss can significantly reduce knee pain and slow arthritis progression

Enjoy the season. Just remember—your knees are carrying more than gifts this time of year.

🦵 Pain doesn’t have to be part of the holiday tradition.

Ever wonder why numbness shows up in different fingers depending on the issue? 🤔
It all comes down to which nerve is getting squeezed — and where.

✋ Carpal Tunnel Syndrome happens at the wrist and affects the median nerve, which is why you’ll feel symptoms in the thumb, index, middle, and part of the ring finger. Typing, repetitive wrist motions, and gripping can all make it worse.

💪 Ulnar Nerve Compression (Cubital Tunnel Syndrome) happens at the elbow and hits the ulnar nerve, causing numbness or tingling in the ring and pinky fingers. Leaning on your elbow or keeping it bent too long often triggers it.

If you’ve been feeling pins, needles, or weakness in your hand or fingers, our specialists at Greater Orlando Orthopedic Group can pinpoint the cause and build a treatment plan that actually works.

👉 Don’t ignore nerve symptoms — early care makes a huge difference. Call us at 407-977-4130.

🚨 New Research You Should Know 🚨
A massive new study shows something surprising: Chronic pain may raise your blood pressure.
Yep — the pain you feel in your joints or muscles could be affecting way more than your mobility.

Why? Long-term pain is linked to inflammation, stress on the body, and even depression… all of which can push blood pressure higher.

✨ If you’re dealing with ongoing joint or muscle pain, we can help with:
• Personalized treatment plans
• Rehab + strengthening
• Injections & minimally invasive options

Your pain isn’t “just pain.” It’s a signal.
Let’s get you feeling — and living — better.
