Many golfers assume knee pain comes from wear and tear. But in a lot of cases, the real issue is irritation or injury to the MCL — the ligament on the inside of your knee. ⛳

The lead knee in the golf swing absorbs a tremendous amount of rotational force, especially during the downswing and follow-through. Over time, that stress can lead to pain that shows up during or after your round.

In this video I explain:
• Why MCL injuries are common in golfers
• How the golf swing stresses the inside of the knee
• What symptoms to watch for
• Treatment options that can help you get back to playing

If your knee has been bothering you after a round, this may be the missing piece of the puzzle.

Golfers: Have you ever had pain on the inside of your lead knee during or after a round? Let me know in the comments.

If you love golf but your knee doesn’t love golf anymore… this is for you.

One of the most common injuries I see in active adults — especially golfers — is meniscus damage. And it’s rarely from one dramatic swing.

More often, it’s years of rotational stress on that lead knee.

In this video, I explain:
⛳ Why golfers are prone to meniscus injuries
⛳ The difference between a true tear and age-related degeneration
⛳ Why not every meniscus injury needs surgery
⛳ What regenerative options may help support healing and long-term joint health

Most golfers don’t want to stop playing. They just want to play without pain — and without sacrificing their knee long term.

If that sounds like you (or someone you know), take a few minutes to watch.

And if you’ve ever dealt with knee pain on the course, comment “GOLF” below — I’d love to hear your experience.

Post-game glow… or just sweat? 🏀 Saturday morning hoops with the boys — smiles, sore legs, and already counting down to next week.

I’m able to keep doing this week after week because I take care of my joints, my recovery, and my overall health — from staying active, to dialing in my nutrition, to using regenerative medicine, peptides, and targeted training.

Movement is medicine. The goal isn’t just to play today… it’s to keep playing for decades.

I had the honor of speaking today about a topic I’m incredibly passionate about — how stacking therapies like shockwave and orthobiologics can change the way we heal injuries.

When we combine treatments strategically — not randomly — we can dramatically improve healing, shorten recovery time, and help patients get back to doing what they love.

Shockwave primes the tissue. Biologics provide the building blocks. When stacked the right way, it’s not just additive — it’s transformational.

Huge thank you to Anatome Training Center for putting together such an incredible program and letting me be part of this amazing group of speakers and attendees.

The future of musculoskeletal care is here — and it’s smarter, more regenerative, and more patient-centered than ever.

If you’re as excited about advancing non-surgical healing as I am, drop a ⚡️ in the comments!

MRI vs Ultrasound. What’s the difference?

04/20/2025

Coming back after time off is tough.
You feel slower, weaker, not quite like yourself.
But here’s the thing—showing up anyway is where the real strength lives.

I’m not where I was, but I’m moving forward.
And every rep, every session, gets me closer.
This season’s about progress, not perfection—and I’m here for it.

Spring colors, fresh energy, and a reminder that comebacks take time… but they’re always worth it.

This started as a joke. Then it got really, really detailed.

Okay, so apparently everyone is turning themselves into action figures…
and I wasn’t about to miss out.

But if I’m getting shrink-wrapped in plastic, you better believe I’m showing up with:
• Ultrasound vision
• Laser accuracy
• A PRP syringe that doubles as a superhero arrow
• And enough kettlebells and basketballs to skip leg day

Swipe through to meet:
• Regenerative GI Joe
• TMNT-meets-scrubs
• Doctor Barbie’s secret weapon
• And a precision-trained archer who shoots PRP instead of arrows — with accuracy the ultrasound would be proud of

Because if healing’s an art,
mine comes with a side of dry humor and purple camo.

Which one’s your favorite? Drop it in the comments.
(And no — they’re not for sale… yet.)

Wrapped up 16 comprehensive joint regenerative treatments today.
Every joint carefully dosed, ultrasound-guided, and done with intention.

Long day? Definitely. But this is the kind of work that keeps people moving — and honestly, it’s what keeps me going too.

Felt it in my knees by the end… but wouldn’t have it any other way.
Follow for a real look at regenerative medicine — no shortcuts, just science.

Just out here trying to outrun Father Time… one pickup game at a time.

Honestly, the older I get, the more I realize how necessary it is to keep moving. Not just for fitness, but for sanity, sleep, stress, and staying pain-free. You don’t have to train like a pro — you just have to stay in the game.

As a sports med doc, I’ll tell you this: your joints, heart, and brain love movement. Doesn’t matter if it’s basketball, a brisk walk, yoga, or dancing like nobody’s watching — your body will thank you for showing up.

Staying active isn’t about chasing your younger self — it’s about investing in your future self.

So let’s keep moving. For our health. For our happiness. For the love of the game — whatever your game is.

Had a great day on the course connecting with the local community of physicians, podiatrists, chiropractors, and attorneys. Huge thanks to .mri for putting together an outstanding event—networking, knowledge-sharing, and just enough friendly competition. Always proud to represent and the regenerative medicine community. Looking forward to the next one—and a lower score.

Woke up before sunrise… because no one’s ever late for a tee time. 😂
