Arthritis and joint pain are not just “wear and tear.” They are mechanical stress layered on top of hormonal shifts, metabolic strain, chronic inflammation, and muscle loss. In this conversation, Dr. Kevin White sits down with Dr. Joshua Schachter, board certified orthopedic surgeon and founder of Pinnacle Integrative Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Wichita Falls, Texas. After performing more than fifteen thousand surgeries and leading an Advanced Orthopedic Center of Excellence, Dr. Schachter rebuilt his entire approach around helping patients avoid surgery through functional medicine, hormone optimization, muscle preservation, and regenerative tools.

“Arthritis and joint pain are not just mechanical problems. They are mechanical problems with a systemic issue.” - Dr. Joshua Schacter
