When your surgical incisions are this small, it can be surprising to hear everything that happened underneath them.

This patient is back with Christian in therapy for suture removal after wrist surgery with Dr. Kardestuncer.

A synovectomy removed inflamed tissue. A TFCC debridement cleaned up damaged tissue in an important stabilizing structure of the wrist, and removed a ganglion cyst.

Christian gives us a look at what recovery involves, and this patient shares the workplace accident that started the whole story.

And through all of it, her takeaway is pretty simple: “They take good care of you here.”

Shooting pain down your leg is worth asking about.

For some people, the hesitation is knowing that the answer might involve their spine. But seeing a spine specialist doesn't automatically mean surgery - or even that you have a serious problem.

Dr. Peter Wagner explains one possible cause, spinal stenosis, and why getting established with a spine specialist early can give you more options for managing symptoms, monitoring changes, and staying active.

Five stars for the joint whisperer!

We couldn't think of a much better nickname for Okechuku "Okey" Ekwuabu, DPT.

When pain sticks around or your rehab 'homework' isn't getting you where you want to be, sometimes a few sessions working with an expert are just what you need to start making progress again.

When arthritis affects a small joint like a knuckle, a lot of people don't realize joint replacement may even be an option.

Dr. Kardestuncer's patient spent two years managing arthritis in her index finger before deciding it was time for an MP joint replacement.

Now, the conversation has shifted from managing an arthritic joint to protecting a brand-new one.

Leigh walks us through why that means a custom splint, carefully progressing movement, and giving the implant and surrounding tissues time to heal before asking too much of those "new parts."

"Don't turn 80. Go from 79 to 81." 😂

Shoulder blade pain can be a frustrating place to hurt. The source isn't always obvious, which is why identifying where the pain is coming from is just as important as treating it.

After evaluating her symptoms, Dr. Wei recommended starting with the most conservative approach: therapy. Now, she's working with Amy Anderson, OTR/L, CHT, to see if improving strength and movement addresses the problem.

If it doesn't, they already have a plan for what's next.

If you've been dealing with pain in the area Amy points out, you don't have to figure it out on your own. We'll help you understand what's causing it and what your options are.

You don't go from an arthritis diagnosis straight to surgery.

As Dr. Justin Thoms explains, there's often much more that can be done first.

The goal isn't to find one "magic" treatment that works for everyone. It's finding the right combination of evidence-based strategies to help reduce symptoms, improve function, and keep you active for longer.

Listen in as he shares a few approaches he's found to be especially effective.

The hope was that her rotator cuff tear could be addressed with a more straightforward repair. But both she and Dr. Anbari knew the extent of the damage might require a different approach.

They hoped for the best and were prepared for what might be necessary.

As Rory Magliocco, DPT, OCS, explains, when the rotator cuff isn’t healthy enough for repair, a reverse total shoulder replacement can allow larger muscles to take on more of the work of lifting and moving the arm.

Her mindset? She trusted her surgeon, and she was ready to do whatever it took to get better.

Now, she’s putting that mindset into action, one rehab session at a time.

For years, ankle sprains were often treated as a temporary setback.⁠
⁠
Rest, ice, a little time, and you'd be back to normal.⁠
⁠
For many people, that's exactly what happens.⁠
⁠
But we're learning that some ankle sprains can lead to chronic pain, lingering instability, and recurrent sprains long after the initial injury appears to have healed.⁠
⁠
As Dr. Vafek explains, persistent ankle pain shouldn't be dismissed - and we can do something about it. ⁠
⁠
If your ankle continues to give out, hurt, or limit your activities months after an injury, it may be worth having it evaluated.⁠
