Myth:
“If it hurts, I’ll just rest it and it’ll go away.”

Sometimes it does.
Sometimes it gets louder.

Experience matters and so does knowing where to go.

Snow days in Mid-Missouri are fun… until your driveway turns into a massive slip hazard. 😬❄️

That’s where Columbia Orthopaedic Group comes in.
For 60+ years, we’ve helped our community get back on their feet after life — and Missouri weather — happens.

So take it slow, stay warm, and if something doesn’t feel right…
Columbia Orthopaedic Group is the call.

There was a time when you could sleep the wrong way and still feel fine.
Now? You need a warm-up before unloading the dishwasher. 😄

Morning stiffness is common, especially as we age, but it doesn’t mean you have to live with discomfort. Simple stretches, movement, and the right care can make a big difference.

You don’t have to be playing sports to need an orthopaedic doctor.
Sometimes injuries happen during:
• Walking the dog
• Carrying groceries
• Missing a step you swear was there

Orthopaedic care isn’t just for athletes. It’s for real life. And real life can be a little clumsy.
