Safety Tips & Preventative care
Preventive Orthopedics
Orthopedic problems are a common occurrence in active and aging individuals. Preventive orthopedics is a treatment care focused on decreasing the risks of developing orthopedic illnesses, diseases, and conditions. Preventive orthopedics focuses on treating orthopedic problems before they occur or become worse, and before requiring serious treatment such as the need to perform surgery.
Osteoporosis and Fall Prevention
Bone is a growing tissue composed mainly of calcium and proteins. Constant reformation of bone takes place as calcium is absorbed by your body. Osteoporosis is a condition in which the calcium from the bone is not replaced when it is removed, forming “porous bones” which cause the bones to become brittle and weak.
Golf Injuries
Golf is a sport that places emphasis on skill rather than physical strength. Although it seems like a low-risk sport for injuries, repeatedly striking the golf ball with incorrect form over a long period of time can result in acute and chronic injuries to the musculoskeletal system, which are known as golf injuries.
