Please join us in welcoming spine specialist Dr. Addison Wood, D.O., to the Bridger Orthopedic team!

Dr. Wood is a fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon specializing in the evaluation and surgical treatment of conditions affecting the neck and back - from herniated discs and spinal stenosis to complex spinal deformity and revision surgery. He's trained in the latest techniques, including robotic-assisted and ultra-minimally invasive spine surgery, motion-preserving procedures, and customized patient-specific implants.

Outside of the operating room, you'll find him skiing, hiking, camping, exploring our beautiful Montana mountains, and reflecting on his appreciation for the same active lifestyle he works hard to help his patients get back to.

We're incredibly excited to have his expertise on our team. Welcome, Dr. Wood!

📍 Now accepting new patients — call us today to get on his schedule!

Is your child's backpack weighing them down? Back-to-school season is exciting, but overloaded backpacks can put unnecessary strain on growing muscles and joints.

⭐️ A backpack should generally weigh no more than 10–15% of a child's body weight.

⭐️ Wearing both shoulder straps, keeping heavier items closest to the back, and adjusting the straps so the pack sits snugly can help prevent neck, shoulder, and back pain.

⭐️ If your child complains of soreness, numbness, or tingling after school, it may be time to lighten the load and check their backpack.

Helping them understand how to protect their back and neck now can help start them on the right path toward an active, pain-free future!

The weeks leading up to fall sports are one of the best opportunities to reduce the risk of injury!

Athletes who gradually build strength, improve balance, increase flexibility, and ease back into conditioning are less likely to experience overuse injuries during the upcoming season. Whether you're preparing for football, soccer, volleyball, wrestling, cross country, or another favorite sport, a little preparation now can help keep you in the game later.

If you do find yourself facing a sports injury this fall we're here to help. With our walk-in orthopedic urgent care that's open 7 days a week and an amazing physical therapy team, we can help get you back in the game.

Tag an athlete who's getting ready for fall sports! ⚽🏉🏐

Your toughest tool isn't your back...

Whether you're working on a ranch, climbing ladders at a construction site, or caring for patients, repetitive movements and heavy lifting can take a toll on your joints over time. Especially the joints in your spine!

Simple things we can do like lifting with our legs, taking breaks throughout the day, and asking for help with awkward loads can make a big difference in preventing injuries. Protecting your body today helps keep you doing the work you depend on tomorrow.

If you do find yourself having back pain call our team to schedule a consult today. From imaging on-site, to pain management, to OT/PT, and more - we have your back!
