Did you know? About 1.71 billion people globally live with musculoskeletal conditions (think: pain in the muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, and nerves).
Below, the experts at Lakeland Regional Health tell us more about three areas of orthopedic care.
For the avid walker
There are many benefits to regular walking and consistent exercise — but after a while, it can take a toll on the body. “Whether you have a hip or knee replacement or some other surgery, the goal is to help ease your pain and help you regain the function that was lost because of damage from arthritis,” says Dr. Mario John .
For the weekend warrior or athlete
Your body is made to move , so you can enjoy all your favorite activities and exercises — but when sudden and painful injuries occur, it’s time to seek help from the experts. And when it’s more than just a little wear-and-tear? “ACL tears can be a sudden and devastating injury for high-level athletes, weekend warriors, and physical laborers alike. I now can use the BEAR Implant on my patients to help their bodies heal their torn ACLs,” says Dr. Eric Wicks .
For trauma
When emergencies happen, there’s a team of specialists ready to help. “Injuries are never convenient, and our team of orthopedic specialists understands that,” says Dr. Renee Genova . “We are here for you and the unexpected sprains, broken bones, and other injuries with the expertise and compassion we would want for our own family members.”
