CAN $1 REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

Maybe $1 by itself doesn’t change the world. But when thousands of people come together and each contribute just $1, it becomes something much bigger—it becomes a movement.

That’s the idea behind our $1 vs. $1 Million Challenge. We are asking people from across the country to donate just $1 to help support our mission to end the need for knee replacements by 2043.

One dollar. One person. One step toward changing the future.

If you believe there has to be a better way, please support our $1 vs. $1 Million Challenge by donating your $1 today. Together, small actions can create extraordinary results.

Thank you for being part of the movement and helping us make a difference.

A GREAT NIGHT AT OYC!

Last night Dr. P had the privilege of speaking with the members of Owasco Yacht Club and sharing our mission, experiences, and stories. It was an incredible evening with a fantastic turnout, great conversations, and the opportunity to personally autograph dozens of books for those who attended.

Thank you to everyone who came out, asked thoughtful questions, and made the evening so enjoyable. The warmth and sense of community at OYC were on full display.

If you’re looking for a place that brings people together, Owasco Yacht Club is truly a special destination—not just for boating enthusiasts, but for families as well. The friendships, activities, and community atmosphere make it a wonderful place to be a member.

Thank you again to OYC for the invitation and hospitality. We had a great time and look forward to visiting again soon!

THE HARDEST THING TO CONVINCE PATIENTS OF…

One of the hardest things to convince patients of is the importance of being proactive.

Research has shown that patients with one bone marrow lesion (subchondral stress/microfracturing) are 9 times more likely to eventually need a knee replacement if it is not addressed. If there are two or more bone marrow lesions, the risk increases to 13 times more likely.

The challenge? Most of the time these bone marrow lesions cause significant pain, but not always. Some patients have these findings on imaging and feel relatively good. When they’re not hurting, it’s difficult to convince them that action may still be necessary.

Think about it this way: if you were told you had a small area of metastatic cancer, would you wait until it caused symptoms before treating it? Of course not. You’d want to address it as early as possible.

That’s why being proactive matters.

Dr. Hernigou’s research demonstrated that treating these bone marrow lesions with bone marrow aspirate injections resulted in an 82% success rate of patients never needing a knee replacement. The earlier these issues are identified and addressed, the better the opportunity to preserve the knee.

If you’ve been told you have bone marrow lesions (subchondral stress/microfracturing), don’t ignore them simply because you’re having a good day or aren’t currently in pain. At the very least, these findings should be monitored regularly. And if symptoms begin to develop, act on them immediately.

The goal isn’t just to reduce pain today—it’s to protect your knee for the future.

TREAT IT EARLY, STAY OUT OF THE OPERATING ROOM

Peter recently joined Dr. P on The Local Show to share an important lesson about shoulder injuries: timing matters.

When Peter began experiencing left shoulder pain, he sought answers early. Imaging revealed a partial-thickness rotator cuff tear before the tendon completely tore away from the bone. Because it was caught in time, we were able to create a comprehensive treatment plan utilizing bone marrow aspirate cells, PRP injections, laser therapy, and total body fitness to help support his body’s natural healing potential.

The outcome? Peter was able to avoid the path that his right shoulder took years ago that ultimately required a rotator cuff repair surgery.

Too often, people wait until the damage becomes severe before taking action. Peter’s story is a reminder that early evaluation and intervention can make all the difference.

If you’re dealing with shoulder pain, don’t ignore it. The sooner you understand what’s happening, the more options you may have.

AMY’S SUCCESS STORY

When Amy first came to Victory In Motion, Home of Knee Repair, NOT Knee Replacement®, she was frustrated and discouraged.

After suffering a meniscus root tear, she underwent a meniscal root repair with another practice and surgeon. Despite going through surgery, she continued to experience pain and was unable to return to the activities she loved most.

Determined to find another solution, Amy came to us and completed our Clarity Day process to uncover the root cause of her ongoing issues. From there, she began a personalized regenerative medicine program and committed herself to the process.

Today, Amy says she feels like she did before her original injury.

Amy explains on The Local Show that she’s back to running, kickboxing, gardening, cleaning around the house, and enjoying life without constantly worrying about her knee. On top of that, Amy achieved significant weight loss through our V-Motion Slim program, helping her feel even stronger, healthier, and more confident.

Amy says she is absolutely thrilled with the results and grateful to have her active lifestyle back.

Stories like Amy’s remind us that there may be options worth exploring before accepting limitations or believing you’ve run out of choices.

JAY HITS A MAJOR MILESTONE!

Success is built one step at a time, and here Jay is celebrating a huge achievement—he has officially worked his way down to 350 pounds!

A big part of Jay’s success has been his commitment to our V-Motion Slim Fat Loss & Weight Loss Program, which combines genetic-based nutrition with UltraSlim treatments to help patients achieve their health and weight-loss goals.

Along this journey, Jay also underwent bone marrow aspirate cells (BMAC) and PRP injections in both knees. As his weight continues to decrease and his knees continue to improve, he’s gaining momentum toward a healthier, more active future.

Every pound lost means less stress on the knees, and every milestone reached is another reminder that positive change is possible with commitment, perseverance, and the right plan.

Congratulations, Jay! We are proud of the hard work, dedication, and determination you’ve shown. This is an incredible accomplishment, and we can’t wait to see what milestone you conquer next!

PARTIAL THICKNESS VS FULL THICKNESS ROTATOR CUFF TEARS

Many people assume a partial rotator cuff tear is “not a big deal” because they can still move their shoulder and function day to day. The problem? Partial thickness tears can continue to worsen over time and eventually progress into full thickness tears.

This is why early intervention matters.

Using ultrasound guidance, the exact location of the partial tear can be visualized in real time so that biologic augmentation including bone marrow aspirate cells (BMAC) and PRP can be injected directly into the damaged tendon tissue. These regenerative medicine procedures are designed to support healing and improve the tendon environment before the tear progresses further.

Research by Dr. Philippe Hernigou demonstrated the powerful effects of biologic augmentation in rotator cuff repair procedures. In the study, patients receiving bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) during rotator cuff repair showed:
• 100% healing at 6 months compared to 67% without biologic augmentation
• Approximately 87% intact repairs at 10 years compared to 44% in controls

The key takeaway: don’t ignore shoulder pain and partial tears for too long. Once a tendon fully tears and retracts away from the bone, biologic augmentation alone cannot reattach it. Surgery is the only option at that point.
