Speaker (Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter) argues that traditional joint replacements (shoulder, hip) impose long recoveries that many patients—who are exhausted, overweight, and in pain—cannot afford. Patients often reject steroids, addictive medications, or surgery; younger, active patients especially resist lengthy recovery. Insurance systems create barriers to finding solutions, but providers can access alternative, outside-the-system treatments aimed at improving health span and vitality while addressing joint pain.

Who has time to recover from a shoulder replacement or a hip replacement. Our patients are exhausted. They're overweight, they're in pain. Many people don't want damaging steroids or addictive medications or surgery. Surgery and prolonged recovery is not an option for an active lifestyle in modern America. I mean, it's just who has time to recover from a shoulder replacement or a hip replacement? I mean, we do it, obviously, but who wants to? Especially younger patients. Insurance companies don't work with us to find a solution, and options exist outside of our traditional system that we as providers can access and can use to help offer our patients options that can both improve their health span and improve their overall vitality while treating their joint pain.
