Neck pain that shoots down the arm is often a pinched nerve from a cervical disc herniation, known as radiculopathy.

When a disc presses on a nerve, it can cause pain, numbness, and tingling traveling from the neck into the arm.

Treatment usually starts with physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medication, followed by epidural injections if symptoms persist. If those don’t help, surgical options like cervical fusion or disc replacement may be considered.

These procedures are minimally invasive, done through a small incision in the front of the neck, with most recovery happening at home.

If your symptoms aren’t improving, it may be time to get it evaluated.

Shoulder surgery recovery depends on what’s repaired.

A labral tear typically requires a sling and physical therapy for about 6 weeks.
A rotator cuff repair involves a longer recovery — usually around 3 months — to restore strength and function.

Protecting the repair early and staying consistent with rehab is key to a successful outcome.

If shoulder pain or weakness isn’t improving, it may be time to get it evaluated.

Neck surgery has changed significantly in the last 10–15 years.

Instead of always performing a fusion, surgeons can now use cervical disc replacement to treat certain disc herniations while preserving motion in the neck.

The damaged disc is removed through a small incision and replaced with a device that allows the spine to keep moving — helping relieve neck pain, arm pain, numbness, and tingling without locking the joint.

For the right patient, this can mean better mobility and a more natural long-term outcome.

If neck pain isn’t improving, it may be time to understand your options.

A torn ACL doesn’t just cause knee pain.

It causes instability in the entire joint.

Many patients describe the same feeling: the knee gives out when pivoting, swells after activity, or feels unstable going down stairs. That’s often a sign the ACL is no longer stabilizing the knee the way it should.

When the ligament is completely torn, ACL reconstruction can restore stability and help patients safely return to sports and an active lifestyle.

I’m Dr. Aron Rovner, a Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon specializing in sports medicine and complex knee injuries, and helping patients understand the right treatment approach is an important part of recovery.

If you’ve been told you may need ACL surgery, getting another opinion can help you make a more informed decision.

Not all meniscus tears should be removed.

When the tear is in the right location (the red-red zone with good blood supply), it can often be repaired instead of trimmed, preserving the natural cushion in the knee.

Using an all-inside repair technique, the meniscus can heal and continue protecting the joint, leading to better long-term outcomes.

Recovery typically involves about 6 weeks of physical therapy, but the goal is to keep your knee as strong and functional as possible.

If you’re dealing with knee pain that isn’t improving, it may be time to get it evaluated.

One of the most overlooked risks to surgical recovery?

Staying in one position for too long.

Prolonged sitting or standing can lead to poor circulation, varicose veins, and even blood clots, all of which can negatively impact healing after surgery. Movement is critical for keeping blood flow healthy and supporting recovery.

Small habits like getting up, walking, and changing positions regularly can make a major difference.

If you’re preparing for surgery or dealing with circulation-related symptoms, it may be time to get evaluated.

Varicose veins aren’t just a cosmetic concern.

They’re often a sign of an underlying circulation problem called venous reflux.

When the valves in the leg veins stop working properly, blood can pool in the legs instead of returning to the heart. This can lead to symptoms like leg heaviness, swelling, itching, cramping, and fatigue, especially later in the day or at night.

Today, this condition can often be treated with minimally invasive procedures such as radiofrequency ablation, which closes the damaged vein and improves circulation.

I’m Dr. Aron Rovner, and evaluating the underlying cause is the first step toward improving these symptoms.

If you’ve been dealing with varicose veins and want to understand your treatment options, getting another opinion can help clarify the next step.

ACL tears are one of the most common sports injuries, often caused by twisting or pivoting movements in sports like basketball, soccer, and skiing.

The ACL is critical for knee stability, and when it’s torn, reconstruction is often needed to restore function.

Modern ACL surgery is done arthroscopically with small incisions, replacing the torn ligament with a strong graft to stabilize the knee and support recovery.

If your knee feels unstable after an injury, it may be time to get it evaluated.

Not all pain means something is wrong.

Sharp, persistent pain — especially with weakness, numbness, or loss of function — may signal a real injury like a tear or disc problem and should be evaluated.

But soreness after a workout is different. That’s often normal muscle fatigue, not damage.

Knowing the difference can help you avoid ignoring something serious — or overreacting to something normal.

If pain isn’t improving or feels different than usual, it may be time to get it checked.

Severe knee arthritis can make everyday movement difficult.

When the cartilage in the knee wears down, the joint can become bone-on-bone, leading to pain with walking, climbing stairs, standing up, or even sleeping.

Many patients try physical therapy, medications, or injections first, but when the joint damage becomes too advanced, those treatments may no longer provide enough relief.

In these cases, knee replacement surgery can remove the damaged joint surfaces and replace them with a smooth artificial joint, helping restore movement and reduce pain.

I’m Dr. Aron Rovner, a Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon specializing in joint reconstruction, and understanding your options is the first step toward improving your mobility.

If you’ve been told you might need knee replacement surgery, a second opinion can help you better understand the condition of your knee.

Consultations in as fast as 48 hours may be available for eligible patients with verified insurance benefits.

Sciatica happens when a herniated disc presses on a nerve in the lower back.
The inner part of the disc pushes out and compresses the nerve, causing pain that radiates down the leg, along with numbness or weakness. In severe cases, this can become urgent and require immediate treatment.
Most cases start with physical therapy, but if symptoms like weakness or persistent numbness develop, early surgical treatment may be necessary to relieve pressure on the nerve.
If you’re experiencing leg pain that isn’t improving, it may be time to get it evaluated.

Persistent shoulder pain is often caused by a rotator cuff tear, especially in people who lift, play sports, or perform repetitive overhead movements.

When the rotator cuff tendon tears, it can lead to weakness, limited mobility, and pain when lifting the arm or sleeping on that shoulder.

If conservative treatments do not improve symptoms, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair can restore stability and function to the shoulder.
