From all of us here at Orthopedic Surgery & Rehabilitation Associates, we would like to wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season!

With the number of positive Covid-19 cases on the rise, we have made it our top priority to keep our patients and staff healthy! Our clinical staff is committed to cleaning our exam rooms after each patient with medical grade disinfectant.

Ready or not, here comes the snow! Before you head out with your shovel, please take a moment to read these safety tips to avoid any potential iniuries. Warm up. Warm your muscles before heading out by doing some light movements, such as bending side to side or walking in place. Push rather than lift. Pushing the snow with the shovel instead of lifting can help reduce strain on your body. When lifting snow, bend your knees and use your legs when possible. ... Choose your shovel wisely. Ergonomically-designed shovels can help reduce the amount of bending you have to do. Lighten your load. Consider using a lighter-weight plastic shovel instead of a metal one to help decrease the weight being lifted. Hit the pause button. Pace yourself and be sure to take frequent breaks. Consider taking a break after 20 to 30 minutes of shoveling, especially when the snow is wet. Consider multiple trips. Consider shoveling periodically throughout the storm to avoid having to move large amounts of snow at once. Keep up with snowfall. Try to shovel snow shortly after it falls, when it is lighter and fluffier. The longer snow stays on the ground, the wetter it can become. Wet snow is heavier and harder to move. Wear layers. Dress in layers and remove them as you get warm to help maintain a comfortable body temperature. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated while shoveling. Stay safe everyone!

Thank you to the patients who take time out of their day to let us know we are doing a great job! We are doing our best to stop the spread of Covid-19. For those of you who prefer to stay home, we continue to schedule telehealth appointment upon request. #patientsatisfaction #reviews #telehealth

Wishing you all a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!

Please have a SAFE Thanksgiving this year! #covid_19

Heat and ice are both considered an inexpensive, easy-to-use treatment option for injuries and pain. But in the moments or even days after an injury, people often forget which choice provides the most benefit. Ice is a great choice for the first 72 hours after an injury because it helps reduce swelling, which causes pain. Heat, on the other hand, helps soothe stiff joints and relax muscles. However, neither option should be used for more than 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Ther...e really is no right or wrong answer. It often comes down to a personal preference of what brings relief to your symptoms. It is also important to remember that heat and ice are not a cure for an injury, but are a source of comfort. #orthopedicsurgery #orthopedics #painrelief
