What a rewarding conversation with Ran Schwarzkopf MD, MSc - we had worked closely together over the years on Intellijoint VIEW. The objective: to make the hip-spine relationship more intuitive and approachable for hip arthroplasty surgeons seeking to incorporate these concepts into their patient care. And now we've taken things one step further with an open-access version of Intellijoint VIEW - making hip-spine dynamics even more approachable and accessible to hip surgeons. Curious? Try it! #hipreplacement #orthpedics #surgery #roboticsurgery

When the material between your vertebrae becomes compressed, it can lead to a herniated disk. Symptoms may include pain, numbness, or weakness. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, about 1 in 50 people experience a herniated disk each year. Don't ignore the signs of a pinched nerve—seek treatment early for relief! 📞Call 1-800-HURT-911 🔗Link in bio #Hurt911 #HerniatedDisk #HerniatedDiskAwareness #PinchedNerve #SeekTreatmentEarly #PainRelief #BackPain #BackPainAwareness #ChiropracticCare #Atlanta #AtlantaChiropractor

This updated version of the Osteoarthritis of the Knee Clinical Care Standard is a very useful tool for clinicians. I especially like the sections dedicated to communication. The standard is very clear about what we should and shouldn't say to patients: once they've have been told their knees are 'bone on bone', it is difficult to convince them that exercise and weight management will help. Nine out of ten patients can manage their knee osteoarthritis without surgery. I'd love to see a similar clinical standard for Osteoarthritis of the Hip.

Pickleball is booming, with players jumping from 4.8M in 2021 to 8.9M in 2023! While it's fun for all ages, especially those 55+, it's important to stay safe. Dr. Thomas Evely, an orthopaedic surgeon for UAB Sports & Exercise Medicine, shares that muscle strains and ligament sprains are common, but can be prevented. Dynamic stretching and warm-ups are key to keeping your muscles ands ligaments flexible, improving balance and agility. On this National Injury Prevention Day, let's play smart and stay safe!
