❄️ Cold weather and reduced sunlight can affect your bone and joint health, but nutrition can help keep you strong and active. Key winter tips:

🔹 Calcium-rich foods: Dairy, leafy greens, almonds
🔹 Vitamin D: Fortified foods, eggs, sunlight exposure
🔹 Omega-3 fatty acids: Salmon, walnuts, flaxseeds
🔹 Anti-inflammatory foods: Berries, turmeric, ginger

Pair proper nutrition with regular exercise to maintain bone density and joint mobility throughout the season.

✋ Stretch your fingers and wrists between gifts
📦 Use tape dispensers and tools that reduce repetitive movements
🪑 Sit at a comfortable height to avoid bending your wrist at awkward angles

Larry’s story-
I wanted to share my experience with Adam Driesman, MD regarding my left total knee arthroplasty. As an 80-year-old man with osteoarthritis, I had tried various non-operative measures without lasting relief. After discussing my options with Dr. Driesman, I felt confident in proceeding with surgery, as he thoroughly explained the risks and benefits.

His surgical coordinator, Jennifer, helped outline all necessary pre-surgery steps, making the process easier to manage. Dr. Driesman also encouraged me to stop smoking for better recovery. The surgery went well, and just a week later, I was driving and walking with a cane. Physical therapy helped me achieve a remarkable range of motion; 120 degrees in just 3 weeks!

After a minor setback due to inflammation, Dr. Driesman promptly addressed my concerns with effective treatment. His compassion and expertise have made my journey smoother, and I am now planning my right knee replacement, feeling hopeful and well-supported by him and his team.
