Have you suffered from an orthopedic injury?

It is no secret that our bodies change as we age. Some changes are obvious, while others are more subtle. As we age, our bones, muscles, and joints change in size, strength, and flexibility.

With the various normal movements, we make every day, we continue to subject our musculoskeletal system to wear and tear. Occasionally, we may suffer a common orthopedic injury while completing an everyday task like gardening, walking your dog, or riding a bike. Some common orthopedic injuries are plantar fasciitis, ankle and foot sprains, meniscal or rotator cuff tears, and tennis and golf elbow to name a few. 

Having a sedentary lifestyle can also affect your body and lead to injury. Inactivity can lead to deconditioning, which may contribute to decreased muscle mass, potentially resulting in osteoporosis, joint inflammation and lower back and hip pain.
