Manipulation Under Anesthesia
PART 2 | The Outcome

Two weeks ago, this video blew up.
175K+ views. Hundreds of comments. A lot of opinions.

So here’s the follow-up.

2 weeks post-MUA
✔️120° knee flexion
✔️Full extension
✔️No pain
✔️Only 4 pain pills total in 2 weeks
✔️Physical therapy every day for 2 weeks

This isn’t luck. This is timing, patient buy-in, and doing the work. MUA isn’t the problem.
👉 Delayed action is.

If you’re stuck after knee surgery, this matters.

Save this. Send it to someone struggling with this problem. Or drop your questions below.

A simple fall.
An osteoporotic fracture.

One month later, she is pain free and back to living life without pain medication.

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive option for select vertebral compression fractures. When used appropriately, it stabilizes the fracture and can relieve pain.

If you or someone you love develops sudden back pain after a fall, especially with osteoporosis, do not ignore it.
Get it evaluated early. Timing matters.

Headed to Dallas, TX to teach OLIF (Oblique lateral interbody fusion) training for a surgeon ☺️

Grateful for the opportunity.
Excited to share technique, precision, and hard-earned experience with a colleague who takes the craft seriously.

This is how medicine moves forward.
One surgeon at a time.

Some people don’t know this about me.

Before medicine, before becoming a doctor, before I became an orthopedic spine surgeon, I spent 4 years in the 160th SOAR Night Stalkers as a flight medic.

That time shaped how I think, how I prepare, and how I show up when things matter.

Discipline. Precision. Accountability. No shortcuts. No excuses.

Those lessons never left.
They show up every day in the operating room, in decision-making, and in how I take care of people who trust me with their bodies and their future.

Different uniform now.
Same standards.

NSDQ. NSDF.

Scarlett confirmed: there are three versions of me.

• Business Joe 💼
• “Leave me alone, Scarlett” Joe 😤
• Videographer Joe 🎥

Scarlett deals with all three daily.
Pray for her. 🙏😂

Michelle Brooks came to me after a failed L5 S1 fusion done elsewhere. She was a smoker, had severe sclerotic bone, an undersized interbody cage, essentially no bone graft in the cage, and two fractured pedicle screws at S1. That is a recipe for failure.

During revision surgery we corrected the fundamentals. A properly sized interbody cage was placed with real graft. New screws were placed at L5. Because both S1 screws were broken, fixation was converted to S2 alar iliac screws to restore stability where it actually matters.

The result speaks for itself.

She is now 75 days post op with no leg pain, no back pain, full mobility, bending lifting twisting without limitation, and she is back to full time work as a cashier. She feels strong, stable, and confident again.

Revision spine surgery is not about shortcuts. It is about mechanics, biology, and ex*****on. When those are done right, outcomes follow.

Minimally invasive with maximal results.

Today was one of those quiet reminders that home never really leaves you.

I had the joy of running into Linda today. A familiar face, an easy smile, and a shared sense of my hometown made the day a little warmer.

Life moves fast, but moments like this slow it down just enough to remember what matters. ☺️

We don’t ask for reviews.
We earn them.

These recent five star reviews reflect what we focus on every day.

Clear communication. Thoughtful care. Taking the time to do things the right way.

We’re grateful for the trust our patients and families place in us.

That trust matters, and we don’t take it lightly.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Christmas Day at our house 🎄
A beautiful tree, presents opened, and laughter that filled the living room 🎁

We spent part of the day in Bricktown, Oklahoma City, stopping at the Giving Machine 🤍

We closed the day the Oklahoma way, with a sunset that stopped us for a moment 🌅

Simple. Grateful.
One of our most memorable Christmases ever.

I decided I was going to be a doctor at four years old and I didn’t even know why.

I was with my dad, walking through a mall in Norman, and we stopped inside Walden Bookstore. He loved books. While he was browsing, I found one book and refused to leave without it. Full meltdown. No negotiation.

What he finally bought me wasn’t a toy. It was Gray’s Anatomy. The real one. First published in 1858, passed down through generations of physicians.

My copy is the 1977 edition. I would have bought it in 1978. That book has followed me through life. Every move. Every stage. Every step toward becoming a doctor.

I didn’t understand anatomy. I didn’t understand medicine. But something in me knew that book mattered. I still keep it close as a reminder that sometimes the calling shows up long before the explanation does.

Dawn is now 2 weeks status post a minimally invasive lumbar decompression at L4–5 and L5–S1 for severe spinal stenosis caused by facet arthropathy, disc herniation, and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy.

Using a modern minimally invasive tubular technique (18 mm tube) and a one-inch incision, we were able to fully decompress both levels, remove the disc herniations, and freely mobilize the nerve roots—without the muscle stripping and collateral damage of traditional open surgery.

Now the outcomes that actually matter:

• Off pain medication in 4 days
• Walking 2 miles a day
• Band-Aid incision
• Feels like her normal self
• Zero pain

This isn’t luck.
This is precision surgery, done thoughtfully, with the right indications and the right technique.

Less tissue trauma.
Faster recovery.
Better long-term outcomes.

This is what spine surgery should look like in 2025.
