My name is James Simpson and I’ve been doing mixed martial arts for over 35 years. Over the last couple of years I just started noticing, wow… something isn’t right. My kicks were getting softer, I was starting to hurt a little more, I’m feeling a lot of pain and this just isn’t good. I finally went to Dr. Carl Weiss from Coordinated Health, and he confirmed what I didn’t want to know and didn’t want to hear. I needed both hips replaced. My hips were pretty much worn down to nothing, from all the years of stretching and kicking, and rolling around, and he told me it’s a common thing now in martial artists. I had two hips done, the first one I did at the beginning of this year in January and after that I was like wow this no pain is incredible. I went right back after my visit and asked when can we do the next one. Two months later, I did the second one and the relief is just incredible. I was up and walking around that day of surgery, which blew my mind and it took a little bit of time but within a week or two I was back on the mat walking around getting more and more flexible. I was so amazed, after I got them done my life came back, I got the joy of teaching again, I could move again, there was no pain, it was like it just rejuvenated me. I was so happy with my outcome, I knew somebody else who had the trouble, I recommended Dr Weiss to her, and she’s recovered and amazed and back on the mat training as well.

Dylan's VICTORY with Dr Slenker Since lacrosse and football are played during different seasons, Dylan chose to play both sports. However, an injury during a football game almost left him unable to play either. His main concern with surgery was whether he would be able to play lacrosse in the spring, specifically his college showcases. He is thankful for Dr. Slenker’s quick actions. “The process at Coordinated Health was amazing. I got an X-ray just 20 minutes after my injury. Dr. Slenker did an excellent job and my PT’s were great! Now if I’m ever injured, I know where to go,” says Dylan.

Shelley remembers exactly when her back pain began. At first she thought she just pulled a muscle, but as her pain worsened she realized it was much more. Although she didn’t have a history of back pain she was surprised to learn that she was actually suffering from several degenerative conditions. Spine Surgeon Christopher Wagener, M.D. explained that she would need a level two spinal fusion, one of his more common surgeries. “What Shelley needed was for someone like me to take pressure off of her nerves and then because she had a degenerative condition where her bones didn’t line up, we needed to fuse her back to prevent the condition from worsening at a later point in time,” says Dr. Wagener. Within just a few months, Arida had resumed all of her normal activities and she is grateful to Dr. Wagener and has only one regret. “I really wish I would have had the surgery sooner. I tell everyone who has back problems to at least have a consultation with Dr. Wagener because he can help you,” says Arida.

Mike “The Bethlehem Brawler” Liberto is well known on the Mixed Martial Arts circuit. The 31-year-old was an elite high school wrestler and football player prior to moving on to the MMA, where he is an undefeated middleweight fighter. When he tore his ACL during a practice he thought he was finished. Then he went to Coordinated Health and Dr Wayne Luchetti. When Dr. Luchetti examined Mike, he found not one but two tears. In addition to the ACL, the MCL was also injured. He outlined a treatment plan for Mike. First they would address the MCL allowing it to heal on its own with the help of rehab. Once his MCL was intact, the doctor would surgically reconstruct Mike’s ACL using a cadaver graft. Just seven months after the surgery, Mike is back in training, preparing for his next boxing match Dr. Luchetti holds the distinction of being one of the few orthopedic surgeons in the Lehigh Valley to have a Subspecialty Certificate in Orthopedic Sports Medicine from the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery. He has extensive experience treating athletes at the high school and college level. Dr. Luchetti has been the team physician at Lehigh University since 2002 and also serves as the team physician at Nazareth High School For more information about Coordinated Health contact ►https://coordinatedhealth.com/team/wayne-luchetti-md/ For more information about Coordinated Health contact ► https://coordinatedhealth.com/ For more information about Studio1300 Productions contact ► http://studio1300video.com Martin Wambold - Videographer, Editor, and Graphics Hannah Bean Ropp - Writer/Video Producer FinalCut X / Canon C100 [DISCLAIMER!] ALL images are copyrighted to it's rightful owner.

Palisades senior Drew Nichols says he has been a pirate his whole life. He started playing flag football at the age of seven with the youth program and today is a varsity player. “I was doing sprints and I overextended my leg and I ended up tearing my hamstring,”says Drew Bryan was able to examine Drew and concluded that he most likely had a hamstring tear. He sent him to Coordinated Health Orthopedic Surgeon Dan Terpstra, M.D. who saw him the next day and confirmed that his hamstring was torn, but said fortunately he didn’t need surgery. The goal of the entire process and rehabilitation was to strengthen the muscles around his hamstring, and Drew believes that going through the recovery process for his hamstring injury has actually made him a better football player. Now, even though he is recovered Drew continues to work with the athletic trainers every day. “They do a great job and get us ready for the games so that we don’t need to worry about being injured. I really recommend other athletes go to see the athletic trainers even if they aren’t injured,” he says.

Snowboarding is second nature for 42-year-old Bill VanGilder. “I discovered snowboarding as a teenager and just loved the freedom it gave me. I fell in love with it and have been doing it ever since,” says VanGilder. Bill developed early onset osteoarthritis from frequent bleeding into his joint. When the arthritis began to interfere with his snowboarding, he went to Orthopedic Surgeon Wayne Luchetti, M.D. “A lot of people choose to wait to have joint replacements because they are afraid it’s going to slow them down, but it’s meant to keep you active longer so why wait,” says VanGilder. Within just six weeks, VanGilder was back on the slopes, a feat that surprised even Dr. Luchetti. “There was definitely no holding Bill back. He was determined not to miss a day of ski season and he didn’t,” says Dr. Luchetti.
