Knee pain isn’t one-size-fits-all — and neither are treatment options. 🦵

Dr. James Lee breaks down 3 common knee injections we use depending on your pain, arthritis level, and goals:

✔️ Steroid shots – help calm inflammation and reduce pain
✔️ Gel shots – add cushioning for arthritic joints
✔️ PRP – uses your body’s own healing factors to support recovery

The best option depends on your knee.

Watch as Dr. Lee explains the differences and who may benefit from each.

Dr. Morales Restrepo with a quick PSA: table saw accidents happen fast — use push sticks, keep guards in place, and never rush the cut.

Your project can wait, your hands can’t. 🙌

Stay safe this construction season! 🙇‍♂️

Gradual, lingering pain isn’t always just part of aging. 💭

It could be a tendon or ligament issue, and many of these conditions are very treatable once properly evaluated.

Don’t wait it out. Getting checked early can make a big difference. 💪

Shoulder pain after a busy weekend of lifting, cleaning, or yard work? 💪

Repetitive activities can lead to inflammation around the rotator cuff and bursa, but many of these issues can be treated with medication, exercise, and therapy.

If the pain isn’t going away, it may be time for an evaluation.

Shoulder dislocations aren’t just for elite athletes.

Getting the shoulder back in place quickly is key, and the right treatment plan depends on your age, activity level, and risk of future injury.

In many younger, active patients, surgery may help reduce the chances of it happening again!

Why do your hands feel stiff or numb while you sleep? 🌙

Sleeping with your wrists bent or in one position for too long can irritate the nerves, especially if you’re developing carpal tunnel. Fluid shifts at night can also make symptoms feel worse.

If you’re waking up with numb or tingling hands, it may be time to get it checked. ✋
