Being active and playing multiple sports will play an important role in your child’s athletic journey. Participation in multiple sports will make your child a better athlete, lower the risk of overuse injuries, and help them avoid burnout.

One study conducted on NCAA Division 1 Athletes found that 88 percent of athletes participated in at least two sports as children, and 70 percent didn’t specialize in a single sport until after the age of 12.

Playing multiple sports as an athlete will expose you to different types of strengths and mental toughness than focusing on just one!

🔍 Small Incisions. Big Results.

Arthroscopic surgery allows orthopedic surgeons to diagnose and treat joint problems using tiny incisions and a miniature camera — meaning less pain, faster recovery, and smaller scars.

At Ortho Sport & Spine, this advanced tech lets surgeons visualize joints in high definition using just a 1-mm sensor, enabling diagnosis and treatment all in the same appointment.

✅ Less waiting
✅ Smaller incisions
✅ Reduced tissue damage
✅ Quicker recovery

Minimally invasive arthroscopy has been revolutionized with the help of Arthrex’s Nanoscope technology at Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians. Call 1-800-ORTHO-11 to learn more about same-day diagnosis and treatment.

Tuesday Tip 🦵✨

Knee replacement surgery can be life-changing — but it’s not the first step! It’s usually reserved for those who’ve tried other treatments like injections, physical therapy, or minimally invasive procedures without lasting relief.

If you’re considering knee replacement, here are a few signs you might be a good candidate:
✅ Chronic knee pain that persists even at rest
✅ Advanced joint disease or deformation
✅ Limited mobility that affects daily life
✅ Healthy skin and weight within surgical guidelines

Knee replacement can greatly improve quality of life — but it’s important to weigh the benefits and know that artificial joints typically last up to 20 years.

💡 Sacroiliac Joint Injections: Fast Relief for Lower Back Pain 💉

Do you experience persistent low back or buttock pain—maybe even pain that shoots down your leg? That could be a sign of sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction or inflammation. The good news: when conservative treatments haven’t worked, SI joint injections offer a minimally invasive way to both diagnose and treat the pain.

Under imaging guidance, a local anesthetic is injected to test for pain relief—if it works, a steroid is added to reduce inflammation for longer-term relief. The procedure takes about 20–30 minutes as an outpatient service.
