Joint pain doesn't always mean joint replacement is your only option.

Amniotic fluid graft therapy is an advanced joint preservation treatment designed to help reduce inflammation, support the body's natural healing process, and protect damaged joints. For some patients with arthritis, cartilage damage, or sports injuries, it may help relieve pain, improve mobility, and even delay the need for surgery.

If joint pain is keeping you from doing what you love, Dr. Glashow can help determine whether joint preservation treatments are right for you. Learn more:

What Does an ACL Tear Feel Like? 🏃‍♂️

An ACL injury often happens suddenly during sports or activities that involve quick changes in direction, jumping, or pivoting.

Many people describe:
🔹 A “popping” sound or sensation in the knee
🔹 Sudden pain and swelling
🔹 Feeling like the knee is unstable or “giving out”
🔹 Difficulty putting weight on the leg or continuing activity

If you experience these symptoms after a sports injury, getting evaluated early can help determine the best path to recovery and getting back to the activities you love.

The FDA’s Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee has recommended six peptide families, including BPC-157 and TB-500, for possible inclusion on the 503A Bulks List. This is a meaningful step that could create a more regulated pathway for patient-specific compounding while encouraging stronger research into safety, dosing, and effectiveness.

However, the committee’s vote is advisory and does not constitute FDA approval. The FDA must now review the recommendation and complete its regulatory process before making a final decision. For now, these peptides remain unapproved, and the clinical evidence still has to catch up. We will keep you posted as we receive more information.

A knee sprain is more than just a "twisted knee." It can involve stretched or torn ligaments that help keep your knee stable. 🦵

Common signs of a knee sprain include:
✔️ Pain or tenderness
✔️ Swelling
✔️ Stiffness
✔️ A feeling that your knee is unstable or "giving out"

The good news? Many mild to moderate knee sprains can be treated without surgery using rest, bracing, physical therapy, and a personalized rehabilitation plan. More severe ligament injuries may require advanced treatment or surgical reconstruction.

If you've injured your knee, don't ignore the pain. An accurate diagnosis is the first step toward getting back to the activities you enjoy.

Your meniscus is the shock absorber between your femur and tibia. Two of them in each knee, cushioning every step, squat, and pivot.

Tears happen two ways: a sudden twist under load (sports, missteps) or slow wear over years.

Not every tear needs surgery. Location, size, and your activity goals all factor into the decision.

If your knee catches, locks, or swells after activity, get it checked. Early answers mean more options.
