Many types of meniscus tears don’t need surgery.
New research from JAMA, NEJM, and BJSM continues to show that structured rehab works just as well as arthroscopy for most degenerative tears—and avoids the long-term risks of meniscectomy- (acceleration of arthritis)

I just published a new blog post breaking down:
✔️ When orthopedic referral is needed
✔️ What symptoms actually matter
✔️ Three rehab programs you can start today (PDF links in post)
✔️ Why routine meniscectomy is no longer recommended for degenerative tears

One key with sciatica is to avoid stretching into nerve tension. Nerve gliding exercises can be used instead. Identifying the trigger of the sciatica is key. If it’s disc related usually the Mckenzie exercise presented here makes the leg pain move closer to the spine. If walking and standing makes the leg pain worse then it would be a different set of exercises.

When I moved to the Valley in 2012, the ability to diagnose and treat soft tissue injuries set me apart from the crowd. I wrote a quick blog post about my experience with my favorite soft tissue mobilization technique-ART. Linked in bio to the post or click the link in the story/highlight (services).
