Did you know too much sugar can slow healing from orthopedic injuries? High sugar intake can increase inflammation and interfere with your body’s ability to repair tissues and bones. If you’re recovering from an injury or surgery, focusing on balanced nutrition and limiting added sugars can support better, faster healing. Your body will thank you! 🦴✨

This fall Dr. Glashow completed the LeBlanc Tour in the hills of Ibiza - roughly 200km over 3 days, with combined climb of over 2000 meters.🚴‍♂️

One of the highlights was getting to meet and learn from pro cyclist Zoe Bäckstedt. Her insights on training and what it takes to compete at the highest level were incredible.

Dr. G is always trying to practice what he preaches.

Use it or lose it. 💪

A shoulder dislocation is a painful and often debilitating injury that occurs when the upper arm bone (humerus) slips out of the shoulder socket (glenoid). It’s one of the most common joint dislocations, particularly among athletes and active individuals. Whether caused by a traumatic fall, sports injury, or accident, dislocated shoulders require prompt, precise care to restore stability and prevent long-term damage.

Elbow bursitis can be painful and frustrating—but the right home care can help ease symptoms and protect your elbow. 💪

If you’re dealing with swelling or tenderness around the elbow, try these at-home tips:
✔️ Rest & protect – Avoid leaning on or putting pressure
✔️ Ice – Apply for 15–20 minutes a few times a day
✔️ Compression – A light elbow wrap for inflammation
✔️ Elevation – Keep the elbow raised when possible
✔️ Anti-inflammatory meds – If approved by your provider

If pain, swelling, or redness continues—or limits your ability to stay active—it’s time to get it checked. Early treatment can prevent complications and get you back to doing what you love safely.

📍Our sports injury specialists are here to help you heal and stay in the game.

✨ Happy National Stretching Day! ✨

• Boost flexibility

• Reduce muscle tension
• Lower your risk of sports injuries

Whether you're an athlete, weekend warrior, or just trying to stay active, keep your muscles happy by building stretching into your daily routine. Your body will thank you!

If pain or stiffness is holding you back, our team is here to help keep you moving safely and confidently. 💪

We started tracking vitamin D levels in athletes years ago and the pattern was clear. Low levels slow healing and increase stress injuries, yet correcting them is one of the simplest interventions we have. One quick blood test can make a real difference.

✨ Tuesday Tip ✨

If you’ve been trying to tough out a sports injury at home — and it’s still slowing you down — it might be time for a professional evaluation.

Lingering pain, swelling, or limited movement can be signs that the injury needs more than rest, ice, or stretching. Getting it checked early can prevent further damage and help you get back to your game faster and safer.

Don’t wait on an injury that isn’t improving. Your body performs better when you take care of it. 💙🏅

We lose muscle and bone as we age, and walking alone can’t solve that. In this video I share what actually works to maintain strength, improve bone density, and support healthier joints and tendons.

A quick reminder for anyone lifting weights. Make sure you are using proper technique, and if you are new or unsure I always recommend working with a trained professional. Only increase the weight once you can perform the current load with excellent form and feel that your body is ready. Jumping too quickly can raise the risk of injury, so focus on steady, controlled progress and please give your body the time it needs to adapt.
