Rest, ice, over-the-counter pain medication, even injections – you’ve done it all. But the tendon pain caused by overuse, injury, calcification or a bony prominence is still there, nagging at you day after day. You’d prefer to avoid surgery. So, what’s next?

The Tenex Health TX System provides a revolutionary, single-procedure treatment for chronic tendon pain that takes only minutes under local anesthesia.

The simple procedure starts with a quick look using diagnostic imaging (such as ultrasound, fluoroscopy, or a C-Arm) to determine the exact source of your pain. Your doctor then makes a mini-incision and inserts the TX MicroTip. Using advanced ultrasonic energy, it precisely cuts and removes diseased soft tissue, while preserving healthy tendons. For most patients, this means less discomfort, no stitches, and a return to activity up to 4 times faster than open surgery.

“Dr. Goodwin has been my ortho doctor for almost 6-years. He is an extremely attentive & caring doctor who has allowed me to continue my athletic lifestyle. He has always been very honest about my limitations but still positive and encouraging. His availability is always excellent & he has always returned my calls no matter how busy his schedule. The PRP treatments I received has improved my quality-of-life immensely & allowed me to regain my cardio fitness despite my bad knees. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Goodwin!”

We’ve all heard we should get 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week. If you aren’t hitting this, you aren’t alone – over 80% of Americans aren’t getting the doctor-recommended amounts of exercise. And here’s some good news: you, of all people, are going to get the most out of every single minute of activity you do. Here are some tips to help get moving towards this goal:

☑ Start out small and work your way up slowly
☑ Break it down into small chunks (150 minutes = 15 minutes twice a day, 5 days a week)
☑ All activities count: walking fast, water aerobics, doubles tennis, even pushing a lawn mower!
☑ Think of the benefits (don’t just look at the scale)
☑ 75 minutes of vigorous exercise (jogging, running, swimming) = 150 minutes of moderate activity
☑ More = better

Exercising improves almost every aspect of your life. Hopefully, that’s reason enough to get moving. If it seems too difficult, just remember that you are not alone. While more = better, avoid getting overwhelmed by doing what you can. Remember, getting some physical activity is always better than getting none.

Dr. Randall Peyton Featured in AAOS Now Article | Arthritis & Sports | Orthopaedics, Physical Therapy & Wellness

Dr. Randall Peyton, Arthritis & Sports’ total joint replacement specialist, recently sat down with fellow orthopaedic surgeons to discuss the merits of robotic surgery in conventional knee replacement procedures.

The article, titled “𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁-𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁: 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗞𝗻𝗲𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀”, highlights the recent popularity of robotic-assisted procedures across the healthcare field. Although it has gained acceptance by many surgeons, this article asks the important question: is this an advancement for patients with knee osteoarthritis, or just another tool in the surgeon’s bag?

Concerns over bone health are not just for older individuals. A documented increase in childhood fractures over the past forty years has raised awareness around early bone health. With many potential factors increasing a child’s fracture risk (genetics, inactivity, diet), it’s becoming more and more important to know who is at risk – especially when it could help prevent future fractures.

Arthritis & Sports is proud to be one of the few clinics in Northern Virginia to offer pediatric DXA scanning. The gold standard for bone assessments, DXA (short for dual-energy radiograph absorptiometry) is the preferred method for clinical measurements of bone density in children because of its availability, reproducibility, speed, and low exposure to radiation.

The general goals of bone densitometry are to identify patients at greatest risk of skeletal fragility fractures, to guide decisions regarding treatment, and to monitor responses to therapy.

Skeletal assessments have been recommended for:

▶ children with recurrent fractures, bone pain, bone deformities, or osteopenia

▶ low-impact fractures occurring from a standing height or less

▶ cystic fibrosis and childhood cancer, including baseline levels by 18 years of age or 2 years after the end of chemotherapy (or earlier in patients with more severe disease, low body weight, chronic glucocorticoid therapy, delayed puberty, gonadal failure, or a history of fracture)

▶ female adolescents with nutritional concerns, such as eating disorders and/or excessive exercise (scans recommended after 6 or more months of amenorrhea)
