The epidemic of opioid abuse in the United States has pushed the CDC to establish new guidelines for providers to prescribe opioids to patients with chronic pain.

Your hip joint is a ball and socket joint, consisting of the femur (the ball) and the acetabulum (the socket). The hip is designed to withstand an incredible amount of force. In fact, an activity as simple and low impact as walking, can impart 1.3-5.8 times your body weight onto your hips!
Located between the two bones, which make up your hip joint, are articular cartilage and synovium. The synovium is a thin lining that produces fluid for the cartilage, minimizing friction and allowing for smooth movement of your bones. The articular cartilage provides a protective cushion which accepts and dissipates the forces imparted on the hip joint. These structures are crucial in maintaining hip health. (more…)

We are going to discuss and review chronic/overuse injuries that occur in athletes and have a direct impact on sports training and performance.

Provided the bone or soft tissue gets adequate rest and nutrition, no real injury occurs. However, if the recovery period is inadequate or deficient in any way, these micro-traumas can develop into a much more involved injury. This injury takes a longer time period to heal and can subject the athlete to the detrimental side effects of inactivity. (more…)

Falls Prevention in the Elderly
1 in 3 adults over the age of 65 fall every year. These falls can lead to tendon tears, fracture, or worse, head injury. After falling, the individual may experience pain, limited mobility, and difficulty performing daily activities.
Exercise is tremendously beneficial to all individuals, especially for those with diabetes. It is proven that exercise helps reduce blood glucose levels, lowers blood pressure, and increases strength to maximize an individual’s quality of life. Our concern for patient health inspired us to implement a physical therapy and exercise program geared towards patients with diabetes.
