653: Staying Active Life in Midlife & Beyond with Kevin R. Stone, MD

653: Staying Active Life in Midlife & Beyond with Kevin R. Stone, MD


One of the main reasons people stop doing the activities they love is injury—especially to the lower back and knees, which are common in midlife and beyond. When most people see a doctor for these injuries, the primary focus is on pain relief, with little thought given to long-term recovery. However, if your goal is to return to—or even exceed—your previous activity levels, the approach needs to be more nuanced. In this week's podcast, we'll dive into the many options available today for healing, including biologics, surgeries, and even joint replacements, so you can keep doing what you love for life.

Listen and learn:

  • About PRP injections (and PRP + surgery) as potential treatment options
  • The use of stem cells to support healing
  • Timeline planning for knee injury recovery
  • The possibilities around returning to running
