National Champs for Chris and his team is an incredible accomplishment! We're so glad we could use BEAR Implant from Miach Orthopaedics and help Chris get back on the field after his ACL reconstruction!

Lacrosse season hits different when you’ve earned your way back.

Chris Berardis returned to the field nine months after ACL surgery with the BEAR Implant and went on to become a national champion in his division.

His family and his surgeon, Jonathan L Glashow MD, were part of every step of that decision and recovery.

As a new Lacrosse season begins, stories like Chris’s are a reminder that an ACL injury does not have to define the outcome. 🐻

I love seeing patients research their conditions and engage with their health! But AI has limitations that matter.

Use AI to learn and prepare great questions for your doctor. Just don’t let it replace proper medical evaluation.

Shoulder happens when the bursa — a small, fluid-filled cushion that helps your shoulder move smoothly — becomes inflamed. When that cushioning gets irritated, it can press against bones and tendons, leading to pain and stiffness with everyday activities like reaching overhead or lifting.

📍 Common Symptoms

• Pain on the outside of the shoulder
• Tenderness to the touch
• Swelling or limited range of motion
• Pain when reaching up or behind your back

💡 How It’s Treated

Most cases start with conservative care such as:
• Rest and activity modification
• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Physical therapy to strengthen shoulder muscles
• Corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation when needed

Testing New Technology!

We recently had the opportunity to evaluate new surgical technology that could potentially improve outcomes for our patients. While originally designed for meniscal root repairs, we’re also exploring how this innovation might be adapted for ACL fixation.

We’re constantly testing and refining our approach with one goal in mind: delivering the best possible outcomes for the patients who trust us with their care.

The future of orthopedic surgery depends on this continuous evolution - always challenging what we know and how we approach patient care.

Runner’s knee happens when the cartilage under your kneecap softens or wears down, causing friction and irritation between your kneecap and thigh bone. While common in runners, it can affect anyone who stresses their knees with repetitive activities.

Common signs include:
✅ Dull, aching pain in front of the knee
✅ Grinding or “grating” sensations when bending
✅ Discomfort going up/down stairs or after sitting
✅ Pain during squats or kneeling

What helps?
💪 Rest and ice after activity
💪 Ease up on high-impact workouts
💪 Strengthening & stretching exercises
💪 Physical therapy to improve knee tracking
💪 Supportive shoes or bracing when appropriate

In many cases, symptoms improve with conservative care — but if pain persists, a specialist can help tailor your treatment plan.

💪 Regain Your Shoulder Strength with Expert Care! 💪

If shoulder pain or a rotator cuff tear is slowing you down, it might be time to consider the difference that expert surgical care can make. Dr. Jonathan Glashow, a top-rated orthopedic surgeon specializing in shoulder injuries, offers advanced rotator cuff repair surgery designed to restore strength, reduce pain, and help you get back to the activities you love.

The rotator cuff is a group of tendons that keeps your shoulder stable and active. Tears can cause pain, weakness, and loss of motion. When nonsurgical treatment isn’t enough, surgical repair can reduce pain and improve shoulder function.

💡 Quick Tip: Keep Carpal Tunnel From Flaring Up

Hand numbness or tingling slowing you down? Small daily habits can help keep carpal tunnel symptoms in check:

✔️ Take frequent breaks from repetitive hand motions
✔️ Keep wrists in a neutral position (not bent up or down)
✔️ Stretch your hands and forearms throughout the day
✔️ Use proper ergonomics at work and during workouts

🏃‍♂️ Pro Tip: Early care matters. Addressing symptoms sooner can help prevent worsening pain and time away from activity.
