Summer means more time outside — and more demand on your joints.

A few things worth remembering as the temperature climbs:
✅️ Hydration matters for joint health — cartilage is mostly water
✅️ Heat increases flexibility, but also injury risk if you skip the warm-up
✅️ Hard surfaces (pavement, turf) add stress to knees and hips
✅️ Listen to your body — summer is not the time to push through pain.

Stay active. Stay smart. And if something doesn't feel right, we're here.

⛳ TCO was proud to participate in the Hanford Fire Department Charity Golf Tournament!

Representing TCO on the course were Kelsie Taylor, DPT, Judd R. Fitzgerald, MD, Sheldon Liikala, DPT, and Kevin "Jun" Nelson, DPT.

We're grateful for opportunities to support the first responders who serve our community every day, including the dedicated team at the Hanford Fire Department. Thank you for hosting a great event and for all that you do for the Tri-Cities area.

On May 16, something truly special happened at the HAPO Center in Pasco.

TCO's own April Walkley, RN, volunteered alongside the Nick of Time Foundation as they trained local volunteers and provided lifesaving heart screenings for young people in our community.

During the event, 324 young hearts were screened, with 4 dangerous heart rhythm conditions identified and 14 students referred for cardiac follow-up. These are young people who now have an opportunity to get answers and potentially lifesaving care.

Thanks to an incredible partnership with Stryker, the event also went beyond heart screenings. Students—and even some parents—learned hands-only CPR and how to use an AED, giving them skills that could one day help save a life.

We're proud of April for volunteering her time and expertise to support such an impactful event and grateful to organizations like Nick of Time Foundation for bringing these important screenings and educational opportunities to our community. 💙

Last fall, Dr. Hansen traveled to Ghana with Ghana Make a Difference — a volunteer organization bringing medical care to underserved communities abroad.
It's a reminder that for many of our providers, the commitment to care extends well beyond the clinic.

You may have heard about biologic treatments for joint pain — but what does that actually mean?

OrthoBiologic therapy uses your body's own healing properties to reduce pain and support tissue repair, often as an alternative or complement to surgery.

Options at TCO include PRP, viscosupplementation, and other biologic approaches. Not every patient is a candidate — but many are surprised by how much relief is possible. Ask us if it's right for you.

Peak baseball season also means peak overuse season for young athletes.

Growth plates in kids and teens are especially vulnerable to repetitive stress from throwing. Watch for elbow pain during or after activity, decreased velocity, or locking in the joint.

Early attention makes a real difference. Our sports medicine team treats young athletes with the same care we give adults.

This is what great care looks like.

"Joe Webb was very friendly & kind through the whole process. He took time to make sure every safety issue was covered, but at the same time was very quick & efficient doing the procedure. He has a nice sense of humor & puts you at ease."

We're proud to have Joe on our team!

Still on the fence about knee replacement? Let's clear a few things up:

Myth: "Recovery takes forever."
Fact: Most patients are walking the same day. Many return to full activity within weeks.

Myth: "I'm too young for a knee replacement."
Fact: Age matters less than quality of life. We treat active patients in their 50s regularly.

Myth: "I should wait until the pain is unbearable."
Fact: Waiting too long can make recovery harder. Earlier intervention often means better outcomes.

Did you know? You don’t always need a referral to see an orthopaedic specialist. Most insurances let you schedule directly with TCO — meaning faster answers, fewer steps, and care that starts when you’re ready.
