🍂🦴 “GOODBYE NOVEMBER, HELLO WINTER JOINTS!”

As November wraps up, here’s your friendly orthopedic reminder:

When the temperature drops, your joints get dramatic.
Colder weather can make arthritis flare, tendons tighten, and old injuries suddenly remember they exist.

❄️ Why it happens:
Lower temperatures = stiffer tissues + slower circulation → joints feel creakier, sorer, and more sensitive.

🦵 What helps:
• Gentle stretching in the morning
• Staying active (motion = lotion!)
• Warm showers or heating pads
• Staying hydrated even though it's not hot out
• Gloves and warm layers to protect joints

🍁 As we say goodbye to November, give your joints a little extra love—they carried you through turkey lifting, Black Friday walking, and couch “marathons.”

Onward to December!
Your bones made it through another month, and we’re here to keep them moving into the next.

🍂🤕LEAF-Raking vs. Your Back

Thanksgiving week = yard cleanup for many people.
And every year, backs everywhere declare mutiny.

Common holiday injuries:
• Lumbar strain
• Sciatica flare
• Neck spasm from looking down too long

🍂 Try this:
Rake in short intervals, switch sides often, and bend at the hips — not like a giraffe trying to drink water.

🦴 Your spine deserves gratitude, too.

🦃💥BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING = ORTHOPEDIC TRIATHLON

Did you know?
Orthopedic clinics see more ankle sprains, falls, and shoulder injuries during and after Black Friday than almost any week of the year.

🛍️ Safety Tips:
• Wear supportive shoes
• Don’t sprint in the store aisles
• Use your knees to lift boxes, not your back
• And please—don’t get into a tug-of-war over the last XBOX

🦴 Your joints should not be the most “clicked” thing this Friday.

🦃THANKSGIVING WEEK: “THE CARVING KNIFE IS NOT A BONE SAW” PSA

Did you know?
Every Thanksgiving, ERs see a spike in hand and tendon injuries from—believe it or not—turkey carving accidents. Flexor tendon lacerations, digital nerve injuries, and even fractures happen when that turkey puts up more of a fight than expected.

🔪 Tip: Always carve on a stable cutting surface, and never use your hand as the “cutting board.”
🦴 Ortho fact: Tendon repairs often require weeks of therapy—far longer than cooking a turkey.

This week: Be thankful for your tendons. Treat them like family. Don’t slice them.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at OrthoGo!

11/26/2025

OrthoGo will be closed Thursday, November 27, 2025 & Friday, November 28, 2025 in observance of the Holiday.
We hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving Holiday!

🍁✨“THE ANNUAL THANKSGIVING FALL” PSA

Every year, a surprising number of patients tell us:

“I didn’t trip—I was carrying the turkey and couldn’t see the stairs.”

🪜🦃 Don’t be a statistic.
Keep pathways clear, watch your step, and don’t rush while carrying heavy dishes.

Orthopedic fact: Most holiday falls cause wrist fractures, ankle sprains, or shoulder dislocations.

🍂 Keep the turkey flying… figuratively, not literally.

🍗🦴 “BE THANKFUL FOR YOUR BONES” - FUN THANKSGIVING FACT

Fun fact:
Your femur is stronger than concrete—and yet we see femoral stress injuries from people who “just jogged a little extra” to earn more pie.

🦴 Bones respond to stress, but also to rest.
Sleep, nutrition, weight-bearing exercise, and Vitamin D all help keep them strong.

This Thanksgiving week, be thankful for the incredible engineering inside you.
Your bones are doing more than you think.

🏃‍♂️🍂 RUNNING THE “TURKEY TROT”? PROTECT YOUR KNEES!

Thanksgiving morning 5Ks are fun—until your knees send you a message louder than your relatives arguing about politics.

🦵 Pro Tip:
Warm up 5–10 minutes, avoid sudden pace changes, and don’t sprint the last 200 meters unless you’ve trained for it.

🦴 Orthopedic fact:
Most turkey-trot knee injuries are flare-ups of underlying patellofemoral pain, early arthritis, or IT band irritation.

🏅 Run smart → eat hard.
Your joints will thank you.

“Avoiding Slips and Falls This Winter”

Falls are a leading cause of orthopedic injuries — especially in winter when surfaces are icy and uneven.

Here’s how to stay safe:

Wear shoes with good traction or rubber soles.

Take smaller, careful steps — think “penguin walk.”

Use handrails whenever possible.

Keep pathways well-lit and clutter-free at home.

If you do slip and fall, watch for swelling, bruising, or inability to bear weight — even small fractures can be serious.

We offer same-day X-rays and care to make sure nothing’s missed. Don’t tough it out — early evaluation = faster healing.

“Bursitis: When Cushioning Turns Painful”

Every major joint in your body has small, fluid-filled sacs called bursae, which cushion and reduce friction between tissues. When these become inflamed, the result is bursitis — a painful, often misunderstood condition.

Bursitis can occur in the shoulder, hip, elbow, or knee, and typically presents with:

Localized swelling or tenderness

Pain when moving or lying on the affected area

Warmth or redness over the joint

The good news? Bursitis often responds beautifully to rest, targeted stretching, and ultrasound-guided cortisone injections. These can rapidly reduce inflammation and allow you to return to activity safely.

Left untreated, however, chronic inflammation can lead to tissue thickening and ongoing pain. Early intervention means faster recovery and fewer recurrences.

“Why Weight Management Protects Your Joints”

Here’s something surprising: every extra pound of body weight adds roughly four pounds of pressure to your knee joints during walking. That means even modest weight loss can dramatically reduce joint stress and pain.

🦵 Benefits of reducing load on your joints:

Less cartilage wear and inflammation

Lower risk of knee and hip arthritis

Improved balance and mobility

We understand weight management is challenging — especially when pain limits activity. That’s why we design joint-friendly exercise plans and use pain management strategies (like ultrasound-guided injections) to help you move comfortably while getting active again.

Small steps lead to big relief — literally.

“IT Band Syndrome: The Hidden Source of Outer Knee Pain”

If you’re a runner or cyclist with aching pain along the outer side of your knee, you may have iliotibial (IT) band syndrome — one of the most common overuse injuries in endurance sports.

The IT band is a thick strip of connective tissue running from your hip to your knee. When it becomes tight or irritated, it rubs against the femur, causing pain and inflammation.

Common causes include:

Overtraining or sudden mileage increase

Weak hip abductors

Running on sloped surfaces

Poor shoe support

Treatment often includes:
🧘‍♀️ Stretching and foam rolling
🏋️ Hip and glute strengthening
💉 Ultrasound-guided injections or dry needling for persistent inflammation

The good news? IT band pain is highly treatable — and most athletes return to full training with the right rehab approach.
