One icy step can change your whole winter🚨❄️

Winter may look beautiful, but icy sidewalks and frozen driveways can turn a single misstep into a serious injury. Slips and falls are common this time of year, leading to fractures, sprains, or head injuries.

Stay safe this winter by:
👟 Wearing proper footwear with good traction
🐧 Walking smart (small steps, slow pace!)
🧊 Clearing snow and watching for black ice
🔥 Warming up before outdoor activities

If you do fall and notice pain, swelling, or limited movement, don’t ignore it. Learn more in our latest blog: https://bit.ly/4qQYEbg

What is an orthopedic surgeon?👨‍⚕️

They’re the experts who diagnose, treat, and help prevent problems with the parts of your body that keep you moving.

✅ Bones
✅ Joints
✅ Muscles
✅ Ligaments
✅ Tendons

At Orthopedic Specialists, our surgeons treat everything from spine and shoulder issues to hip, knee, and hand injuries. They start with non-surgical care first, and only recommend surgery when it’s the safest, most effective option.

If you’re dealing with ongoing pain, it may be time to see an orthopedic surgeon. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4rSw9L7
