💡 : Shoulder Tendonitis

Shoulder tendonitis happens when the rotator cuff tendons become irritated or inflamed, often from overuse or injury. Common symptoms include pain when lifting your arm, stiffness, and limited range of motion.

Tip: Rest your shoulder, use ice to reduce inflammation, and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If symptoms don’t improve, a proper evaluation and physical therapy can help you heal safely and prevent further injury.

Asking Our PA Chris About the Viral “Germany Regrows Cartilage” Post

The internet’s buzzing about a supposed German breakthrough in cartilage regeneration, but the reality is more nuanced than the headlines suggest. This injectable product (fibrous cartilage from animals) only works for small, specific cartilage defects, not the arthritis most people are hoping to cure.

Joe Rogan Breaks Down His Two ACL Surgeries: Orthopedic Surgeon Reacts

Fascinating insight from someone who’s lived through both types of ACL reconstruction. Joe’s experience highlights the key trade-offs we discuss with patients every day.

His comparison is spot-on: patellar tendon grafts (using your own tissue) involve more initial pain from harvesting, while cadaver grafts offer easier recovery but different long-term considerations.

What many don’t realize: cadaver grafts take twice as long to fully mature, which is why most pro athletes opt for their own tissue despite the tougher recovery.

Every knee, every athlete, every goal is different. There’s no universal “best” option - just the best option for you.
