With age comes not only experience and wisdom, but also changes to the joints, muscles, and bones in the body. As we age, our bones lose density, muscles weaken, joint lubrication fluids are reduced, and cartilage becomes thinner.

Having limitations on your mobility and physical activity may increase your risk for knee problems. This can be a common cause of knee pain, shoulder injuries, and other ‌related conditions. Staten Island Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr.Tehrany, consults with older patients on a daily basis. He offers preventative guidance, pain relief and treatment plans to many patients who struggle with injuries.

Healthy lifestyle changes can help delay, and even prevent, chronic conditions that affect aging joints. These changes can also help strengthen muscles and bone structures that protect against knee and shoulder injuries. You can live an active lifestyle well beyond middle age with a treatment plan that focuses on prevention and regaining a full range of motion.

For a more comfortable life, preventative care is necessary, especially when it comes to your knees and shoulders. Imagine the miles tracked on the muscles and joints over the years with no service plan in place. You would not do this to your car, so why do this to your body?

At Manhattan Orthopedic Care, our specialists treat and care for many patients who suffer from ‌age-related‌ ‌injuries‌ ‌and‌ ‌conditions‌ ‌throughout‌ ‌Staten‌ ‌Island. Each treatment plan is uniquely based on the patient’s symptoms, physical exam, and imaging results.
