You’ve probably heard the saying, “You get out what you put in.” The same can be true for your joints.

Your diet and hydration can significantly impact joint health and help manage arthritis symptoms. Maintaining a balanced diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods, along with proper hydration, may reduce inflammation and enhance overall joint function.

Next month, we will be diving deeper into managing arthritis and supporting joint health at our next in-person event in partnership with the Arthritis Foundation. This event is currently on a waitlist, but we invite you to join in case spots open up: https://www.orthocarolina.com/live-event-signup

Be honest… did anyone else struggle to wake up today? 🫠

Thumb pain changing how you live your day?

Jordan Grier, MD, hand and upper extremity surgeon at OrthoCarolina, has performed the first TOUCH® thumb CMC joint replacement in the Charlotte region, expanding treatment options for patients living with persistent thumb arthritis pain.

This advanced joint replacement is designed to alleviate pain, restore strength, and enable patients to resume their everyday activities without depending on traditional surgical methods. Dr. Grier traveled to Europe to train directly with the surgeons who pioneered this technique, ensuring a careful introduction for patients before performing the surgery in Charlotte.

If injections, bracing, or therapy have not provided relief, this procedure may be another option worth exploring. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Grier: https://my.orthocarolina.com/mychart/openscheduling/standalone?id=93W&vt=407&linksource=providers%2Bfp_1956cf5351820d-0184ceccd1b09c-1c525636-201b88-1956cf53519297e_fp
