Reaching for a coat. Lifting something overhead. Trying to get comfortable at night — and your shoulder just won’t cooperate.
Those everyday moments are often when shoulder arthritis starts to show up.

Ongoing stiffness, deep aching pain, reduced range of motion, or discomfort that lingers after activity can all be signs the shoulder joint isn’t moving as smoothly as it should. Paying attention to those changes can help you understand when it’s time to get clarity.

In this short video, Dr. Bernacki explains common symptoms of shoulder arthritis and what they may mean for your shoulder health, so you’re better informed about when an orthopedic evaluation may be helpful.

We’re grateful when patients take the time to share their experience with our team.

Ever notice stiffness when you stand up after sitting? Or that ache when you climb the stairs?

For many people, knee arthritis starts showing up in these everyday moments—long before it feels “serious.”

Knee arthritis happens when the joint doesn’t move as smoothly as it should. Over time, this can lead to stiffness, aching pain, swelling, and reduced mobility. Understanding what’s going on inside the knee can make those symptoms easier to understand—and easier to manage.

In this short video, Dr. Alex Tancevski breaks down:
✅ What knee arthritis is
✅ How it commonly presents
✅ Why getting clear answers is an important first step toward relief

Watch now and take the first step toward feeling better.

Feeling stiff during cold mornings? You’re not alone.

Colder weather can increase joint stiffness due to inactivity and posture changes. Try this:

• Stretch regularly
• Sit and stand with good posture

• Take frequent breaks from sitting

Need help managing joint stiffness or discomfort this winter?

If stiffness leads to pain or limits your mobility, the orthopedic specialists at Orthopedic Specialists & Sports Medicine are here to evaluate your joints and provide personalized treatment to keep you moving comfortably all winter long.

Is that pain in your neck or upper back a nagging muscle knot or something more complex like a pinched nerve? It can be hard to tell the difference, as both can occur in the same areas.

🧠 Pinched Nerve:
• Sharp, shooting pain
• Tingling or numbness
• Pain radiates down arm/leg

💪 Muscle Knot:
• Localized soreness
• Tight, achy feeling
• Improves with massage or heat

At Orthopedic Specialists & Sports Medicine, we specialize in non-surgical spine care. Our expert team will carefully diagnose the source of your pain to ensure you receive the right conservative treatment plan—helping you find relief without surgery. 🩺
