Osgood-Schlatter disease is a common cause of knee pain in growing kids and teens.

It’s an overuse condition caused by repeated stress on the patellar tendon, which pulls on the tibial tubercle just below the kneecap. This often shows up during growth spurts, especially in active adolescents involved in running or jumping sports.

While it’s usually self-limited, early recognition and proper management can help reduce pain and prevent ongoing irritation.

🦵 Pain just below the kneecap that flares with jumping or running? That’s a common sign of patellar tendinitis.

This overuse injury affects the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shinbone and is often seen in athletes or anyone with repetitive knee strain. Early care can help prevent long-term tendon damage.

Hearing patients say their recovery was easier than expected is always meaningful. 🤍

This kind of feedback reminds us why precision, experience, and patient-first care matter.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is an age-related joint condition marked by cartilage breakdown, chronic pain, and disability.

Research suggests magnesium, an essential dietary mineral that often declines with age, plays a role in cartilage cell health and inflammatory balance. Experimental and clinical studies have linked low magnesium levels to cartilage cell aging and damage, while adequate magnesium has been associated with reduced cartilage cell death and improved cartilage cell function. Researchers are also exploring how magnesium may influence inflammation through interactions with the gut microbiome, though conclusions remain under investigation.

Before making changes to supplements or diet, it’s important to consult with your doctor to determine what’s appropriate for you.

Recovery doesn’t stop when surgery ends.

At DOCS Health, patients have direct access to their physicians after surgery…so questions are answered, concerns are addressed, and recovery stays on track.

A reassuring one to keep in mind after surgery.

The quadratus lumborum is a deep stabilizing muscle that connects the 12th rib, lumbar spine, and iliac crest. It plays a key role in lateral trunk stability, postural control, and assisting with side bending of the spine.

Because of its role in load transfer between the rib cage and pelvis, dysfunction here is commonly associated with lower back stiffness and asymmetric movement patterns.

This is what ACL graft placement actually looks like.

In ACL reconstruction using a hamstring autograft, the tendon is first prepared and secured with sutures that allow the surgeon to control the graft inside the knee. Those sutures are then used to pass the graft through carefully drilled bone tunnels in the femur and tibia.

Before any fixation occurs, the graft is positioned and tensioned to replicate the native ACL’s orientation and function. This step is critical… it determines how the knee will track, stabilize, and load once the patient returns to activity.

Small adjustments here have long-term consequences for stability and outcomes.
