Whether you're walking a few thousand steps per day or reaching the recommended 10,000, your feet are constantly working. Over a lifetime, the average person walks enough to circle the Earth several times. Your feet absorb incredible forces with each step, support your entire body weight, and adapt to uneven surfaces without you even thinking about it.

Each foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments working together in perfect coordination. When everything is functioning properly, you don't give your feet much thought. But when pain develops, whether from injury, overuse, arthritis, or structural issues, it affects your ability to do just about everything.

Our foot and ankle specialists treat conditions ranging from bunions and plantar fasciitis to fractures and Achilles tendon injuries. If foot pain is slowing you down, don't wait for it to get worse. Early treatment often means simpler solutions and better outcomes.

Meet Khanh Dinh, PA-C one of our hospital-based physician assistants and today's ! ⭐

After his military service, he earned his physician assistant certification from D'Youville College in Buffalo in 2002. Before joining the SOS team in 2009, Khanh practiced as a surgical PA at St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center. For over 15 years, he's been providing expert orthopedic care, bringing both clinical skill and the same commitment to service that defined his military career.

For our final Operation Walk New York Jeans Day this month, we want to show you exactly how your donations help patients in Ghana. Every cent donated goes directly to the mission.

Here's what your contribution provides: $25 buys one pair of crutches. $50 buys one walker. $50 pays for medicines and supplies for one patient. $100 covers medications, supplies, and a walker or crutches for one patient to go home and begin recovery.

This all-volunteer organization relies entirely on donations to continue their life-changing work. The team includes volunteer surgeons, nurses, therapists, and support staff who donate their time to restore mobility and hope to people who have lived with disabling pain for years, unable to work or care for their families.

Thank you for supporting Operation Walk New York this month. Learn more at operationwalknewyork.org

Orthopedic fun fact 💡

The average adult head weighs between 10-12 pounds, and your cervical spine and neck muscles work constantly to keep it balanced and mobile. When your head is in a neutral position with your ears aligned over your shoulders, your neck handles this weight efficiently. But when you tilt your head forward to look at your phone or lean toward a computer screen, the strain on your neck muscles increases significantly. The further forward your head moves, the harder your neck has to work to support it.

This is why "tech neck" has become such a common complaint. Those sustained forward postures put extra stress on neck muscles and structures that weren't designed to handle that kind of prolonged strain. Small adjustments like bringing your screen up to eye level instead of constantly looking down can make a real difference in reducing neck discomfort.

Our Jeans Day donations this week benefit Operation Walk New York, and we're sharing Sandra's story to show you the impact of this mission.

"Before surgery, I had days I could barely move," Sandra said. During Operation Walk New York's October mission to Ghana, she took her first steps after receiving a free joint replacement surgery. After surgery, Sandra acknowledged the normal discomfort but her face lit up as she talked about feeling better already. She displayed relief at getting her life back and her regained hope.

"Operation Walk is doing a great job. We are very, very grateful," she said. Sandra is one of 95 patients whose lives were transformed during this mission. Hundreds more are still waiting for the same opportunity to walk, work, and hope again. Your donations help make the next mission possible so more young people like Sandra can reclaim their lives.

Physical therapy is one of the most effective treatments for many back and neck conditions. Our therapists work closely with spine patients to reduce pain, restore mobility, and prevent future problems. Each treatment plan is individualized based on your specific condition and goals. You'll learn proper body mechanics to protect your spine during daily activities, strengthening exercises to build core stability, and flexibility techniques to improve range of motion.

For patients recovering from spine surgery, physical therapy is essential for optimal healing. For those managing chronic conditions, ongoing therapy provides the tools to maintain an active, fulfilling life.

Sometimes, giving hope means staying late and doing one more surgery. Today's Jeans Day supports Operation Walk New York, and we want to share Matthew's story. 🌍

Since 2018, severe hip deformities made it extremely painful for Matthew to walk. In 2022, he learned about Operation Walk New York and held onto hope. During the October 2025 mission to Ghana, Matthew was selected for bilateral hip replacement on day one. However, complications meant only one hip could be safely replaced initially. Matthew's recovery went well. On the final day of surgery, the team voted unanimously to stay late and replace his second hip. The surgery was successful, and Matthew was walking the next morning with a huge smile on his face. He sent a heartfelt note to the team thanking them for renewing his hope and giving him a chance to move forward with life in ways that were not possible before.

This is why they want to go back to Ghana. Support their mission at operationwalknewyork.org
