Built to Move, Born to Heal: Notes on Midlife Fitness

Injuries happen... most don’t need surgery, just a better explanation

7 min visits and an MRI report doesn't cut it

Aug 03, 2020

Welcome to Injuries happen... keeping folks active by me, Howard Luks MD.

We are far more than what an MRI report reveals. Managing injuries is far more complex than simply viewing your X-rays and MRI. Sometimes managing expectations, realistic recovery strategies and just giving a better explanation is what matters most in getting athletes of all ages back outside.

Howard Luks MD is an Orthopedic Surgeon, Sports Medicine Specialist with 20+ years of experience. If I’m not on a trail or riding on the road, I am at a soccer game with my kids or reading.

My blog at HowardLuksMD.com has been one of the busiest solo doc blogs on sports injuries, lifestyle management and return to play guidance. We are going to build on that here.
