Why is no one talking about knee pain like this? It’s not just about where it hurts—it’s about why it hurts. Dr. Lin explains how a real knee evaluation looks at joint health, alignment, stability, and even nerve control… not just masking pain with shots or pills.

If you’re battling back pain or sciatica, here’s what most doctors miss — Cortisone works best when used in small, targeted doses with image guidance. Not massive oral doses that flood your system with side effects. Dr. Lin explains why less is more when it comes to cortisone and spine care.

PRP or stem cells for tendonitis?
Dr. Lin breaks it down:
PRP is great for inflammation, swelling, and scar tissue—especially in early tendon injuries.
Stem cells come into play when there’s an actual tear that needs real repair.
As for amniotic products? No live stem cells, so we don’t use them.

Neck pain… or shoulder pain? Sometimes they’re connected. Dr. Lin explains how a shoulder issue can strain your neck—and how neck problems can stress your shoulder. It’s all linked by posture and muscle balance!

Tired of cortisone shots for knee pain? There are better options. Dr. Lin breaks down alternatives like hyaluronic acid, Arnica, PRP, and stem cells—because long-term relief shouldn’t come at the cost of joint damage.

Is Your Knee Trying to Tell You Something?

Popping, clicking, soreness after workouts, or that “uh-oh” feeling like your knee might give way?
Those aren’t just random aches—they’re common signs of knee arthritis.

The good news? You have options before it gets worse.
Let’s talk solutions.

Wondering about glucosamine for joint pain? Dr. Lin explains how it can reduce inflammation—like ibuprofen or aspirin—but it’s no miracle cure. It helps with symptoms, not healing.

Pain isn’t the problem—it’s a message. Dr. Lin explains the difference between masking pain with meds vs. actually healing the root cause through regenerative medicine. Let’s stop silencing the signal and start listening.

Knee Pain? Cartilage Loss? Meniscus Damage? Read This First.

Before you get another cortisone shot, here’s what you need to know: Repeated cortisone injections can damage cartilage, tendons, ligaments—even your meniscus.

Instead, talk to a regenerative medicine physician (not a nurse, assistant, chiropractor, or naturopath)— find a true MD or DO specialist who has been trained to look beyond X-rays and evaluate how your knee functions as a whole.

Don’t just mask pain. Heal smarter.

Thinking about a “stem cell” injection for your shoulder or knee? Be cautious. Dr. Lin explains why frozen amniotic and umbilical products don’t contain any live stem cells—and why your own body is the safest source.

An MRI can show details —but it's not going to make a diagnosis- only your physician can do that.

Dr. Lin explains why a detailed history and physical exam matter just as much as imaging when it comes to diagnosing back pain. It’s all about how the body works together.
