🦃🔪 Turkey Carving Time!

Before you dig into that delicious bird, keep these carving tips in mind so the only thing you’re serving up is smiles (and seconds 😉):

• Use a sharp knife—it’s actually safer than a dull one.
• Keep your cutting area dry and steady.
• Always carve away from yourself.
• Let the turkey rest before slicing.

Carve smart, stay safe, and enjoy every bite of your holiday feast!

And as always, if something goes awry, we’re here to help—just give us a call!

Joint replacement surgery—is it right for you?

According to our joint replacement experts, you may be ready for a joint replacement if you’re experiencing the following:

• You have joint pain that keeps you awake at night
• The pain in your joint prevents you from participating in your favorite recreational activities
• You have stiffness in your joint that limits your ability to move or lift your leg
• You have attempted conservative methods (i.e., exercise and/or drug therapy) without success

Recommendations for joint replacement surgery depend on your individual needs and goals. To find out if you are ready for joint replacement surgery, schedule an appointment with one of our highly trained joint replacement surgeons!

🎃 SAFETY TIPS | Pumpkin carving season is here! Before you dive into creating your spooky masterpiece, keep these safety tips in mind:

🔪 Use the right tools – Pumpkin carving kits are safer than kitchen knives.
✋ Carve away from yourself – Always cut with controlled, downward motions.
🕯️ Light it safely – Swap candles for LED lights to avoid burns or fire hazards.
👀 Supervise kids – Let them draw the design and scoop out the seeds, while adults handle the carving.

Stay safe, keep your fingers injury-free, and have a gourd-geous Halloween! 🎃
