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.

Inflammation doesn’t just cause joint pain — it slows you down, affects mobility, and can make everyday life harder. The good news? What you eat can make a HUGE difference.

A clinical study found that a plant-based, lifestyle-focused diet improved pain, stiffness, and function in people with hip + knee osteoarthritis. Even small changes add up.

Here are easy ways to calm inflammation naturally:
🥑 Add omega-3 rich foods (salmon, walnuts, chia seeds)
🌱 Fill your plate with fruits + veggies
🫐 Build an antioxidant habit (berries, leafy greens, turmeric)
🚫 Reduce processed foods + excess sugar
💧 Stay hydrated — it actually impacts joint health
💪 Pair smart nutrition with movement + strength training

Diet isn’t a cure-all, but it supports your joints more than most people realize. And when inflammation is high, having an orthopedic specialist guide your care matters.

😴 Does shoulder pain keep you up at night?
If you’re constantly shifting, stacking pillows, or waking up in pain — your shoulder is trying to tell you something.

Nighttime shoulder pain can be a sign of:

✅ Rotator cuff irritation or tear

✅ Bursitis or inflammation in the joint

✅ Arthritis or bone-on-bone friction

✅ Poor sleeping position or hidden mobility issues

The good news? You don’t have to live like this.
Our team at Greater Orlando Orthopedic Group breaks down the real reasons shoulder pain flares up at night — and what you can do to finally sleep comfortably again.

PRP vs. Cortisone Shots — Which Works Better for Knee Pain?

A new randomized clinical trial found that corticosteroid injections provided faster short-term pain relief than platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for patients with knee osteoarthritis.

💡 Key Takeaways from the Study:

At six weeks, patients who received corticosteroid injections reported significantly greater pain relief.

PRP did NOT outperform cortisone injections in early recovery.

By 3 months, both treatments showed similar levels of pain control.

Function and mobility improved in both groups, but no meaningful difference was found long-term.

👉 What this means for you:
If you're looking for quick pain relief, a corticosteroid injection may be the faster-acting option. PRP may still have value—but it may not deliver the immediate results many patients expect.

At Greater Orlando Orthopedic Group, our specialists help you choose the treatment that aligns with your goals, timeline, and activity level—whether that's quick relief or long-term joint preservation. Call Us (407) 977-4130.

🔹 No generic care. No guesswork. Just orthopedic expertise.
