Fix It Friday: Knee pain going up stairs.

If your knee hurts on the way up (not down), that's usually a quad/VMO issue, not the knee itself.

Here's what I check:
→ Is the VMO firing properly on single-leg loading?
→ Is the patella tracking correctly through the full range?
→ Is the hip stabilizing well enough so the knee isn't compensating?

Knee pain is almost never about the knee. Fix what's driving it.

Flexibility and mobility are not the same thing.

Flexibility = passive range of motion. Your muscle can be stretched into a position.
Mobility = active control through that range. Your body can move into AND out of that position under load.

You can be flexible and still blow your back out on a deadlift. You can be stiff and still move well.

What we train at New Edge is mobility — because that's what protects you when it matters.

🏆 Patient Win Wednesday 🏆
One week out from World's. Back injury.
For most people, that's the end of the conversation. You pull out, you rest, you try again next year.
He didn't want to hear that.
He came in unable to move the way he needed to move on the mat. We didn't just try to get him out of pain. We looked at exactly what movements he needed, figured out what was actually driving the problem, and built every session around one goal: get him on the competition floor in seven days.
He competed. He performed.
This is why I do what I do.
If you're a martial artist in the Pittsburgh area dealing with something that's keeping you off the mat, don't wait it out and hope it gets better. Come in and let's figure it out together.

Let me be honest with you about why we don't take insurance.

It's not because we don't care about making care accessible. It's because insurance companies have spent years inserting themselves between me and my patients, and I'm not okay with that.

Visit limits. Prior authorizations. Claim denials. Treatment protocols decided by someone in an office who has never met you, never watched you move, and has no idea what your body actually needs.

They tell me how many visits you're allowed. They tell me what I can and can't treat. They decide when you're "done." Not me. Not you.

That's not how I practice.

At New Edge, no insurance company gets a seat at the table. Every decision about your care is made by us, based on what you actually need, how you actually move, and what your actual goals are.

You get a full 1-on-1 session every time. No rushing. No cookie-cutter adjustments. No one pulling the plug on your care because a billing department said so.

Cash-pay isn't the easy choice. But it's the right one, because it means your care belongs to you.

Two years after rehabbing my first knee injury, I tore my left lateral meniscus at a karate tournament.

Same situation. No surgery. Same answer: do the work.

Strengthening. Taping. Adjusting. Voodoo floss, cold laser, scraping. Back to the fundamentals that worked the first time.

Both knees today? Completely fine. I train on them. I can run on them. I can squat without an issue. They don't cross my mind.

I tell this story not to impress anyone, but because it matters when I'm sitting across from a patient who's scared they'll never get back to their sport. I've rehabbed two significant knee injuries without surgery. I know what the process feels like from the inside. The frustration, the small wins, the moments where you're not sure it's working.

That's the what you're getting at New Edge Spine and Sport. One who's lived the process, not just studied it.

Fix It Friday: Shoulder pain when you bench press.

The shoulder gets blamed a lot. But the problem is usually upstream or downstream.

Check these first:
→ Is your scapula moving properly through the press?
→ Are your lats engaged at the bottom of the rep?
→ Is your thoracic spine mobile enough to support the movement?

A tight upper back forces your shoulder into a position it wasn't designed for under load. Fix the t-spine, fix the bench.

Fix It Friday: Why your low back keeps flaring up after deadlifts.

Hint: it's usually not the deadlift.

90% of the time it's one of these:
→ Your hips are locking up before your back takes over
→ You're losing your brace at the top of the lift
→ Your SI joint is the weak link, not the disc

The fix isn't to stop deadlifting. It's to train smarter and address what's actually breaking down.

We do exactly that at New Edge — movement-based assessment, not just rest and ice.

Rest removes the pain signal. It doesn't fix the movement pattern that caused the injury.

So you rest, feel better, go back to training — and it happens again.

I've seen this cycle play out for years with patients. The injury isn't bad luck. It's the same problem repeating itself because nobody addressed the root cause.

If you're stuck in that loop, it's time to find out why.

Patient Win Wednesday 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Had a patient come in last month who hadn't been able to squat without low back pain in over a year.

They'd tried rest. Tried a belt. Tried just working through it.

After 4 sessions focused on hip mobility, core stability, and fixing the movement pattern driving the pain — they PR'd their squat this week.

That's what we're here for. Not just getting out of pain. Getting back to performing.

I became a chiropractor because chiropractic changed my life before I ever knew I wanted to be one.
Growing up, I struggled with migraines that would shut me down completely. We tried everything. Nothing worked until someone suggested chiropractic. It did what nothing else could, and I never forgot that.
But what kept me coming back wasn't just that one win. I stayed a patient through high school and college, and I watched what consistent care did for me as an athlete. I moved better. I recovered faster. I performed at a higher level. It wasn't just about fixing a problem anymore. It was about what was possible when your body is actually functioning the way it's supposed to.
That's when I knew. I didn't want to just help people feel better. I wanted to do for them what chiropractic did for me. Help them stay in the game, keep doing what they love, and get more out of their bodies than they thought they could.
That passion hasn't changed. Every patient who walks through the door at New Edge gets everything I have, because I know firsthand what it feels like when the right care changes everything. This isn't just a career for me. It's personal.

In 2015, I seriously injured my knee in a jiu jitsu tournament.

No surgery. Not because I didn't want it, but because health insurance wasn't an option at the time.

So I did what I knew how to do: I rehabbed it myself. Strengthening, taping, adjusting, voodoo floss, cold laser, instrument-assisted scraping. Every tool I had.

It wasn't fast. It wasn't comfortable. But I came out the other side with a knee that was fully functional, and had no limitations.

That experience changed how I approach patient care. When someone comes in and surgery isn't on the table, whether it's cost, timing, or choice, I don't panic. I've been there. I know what conservative care can actually do when you're committed to the process.

Your body can do more than you think. Sometimes it just needs the right tools and someone who's been through it.
