Today is world running day! 🏃As you lace up and hit the pavement, be sure to keep these tips in mind.

1. Give your shoes time to recover
Just like you need time to recover after run, your shoes do too! The cushioning foam can take from 24–48 hours to reset and allowing time to regain their shape can help your shoes last longer and avoid joint pain.

2. Replace your shoes frequently
Worn out footwear loses cushioning and support overtime, so be sure to replace your shoes regularly or rotate between pairs to help reduce stress and pain on your joints.

3. Rest after surgery
We are dedicated to getting you back out there as soon as possible so after an orthopedic surgery, it is important to take the time to heal.

4. Schedule an appointment with DOC!
Don’t put off pain. We are here to help understand what could be causing your pain and how we can get you back out there. If you are experiencing pain from running, click here to schedule an appointment online: https://www.doclv.com/appointments

Backed by Trust 🤝🏼 | “Dr. Dunn is one amazing doctor, and he always makes the time to answer all my questions with a genuine concern. I never feel rushed, and I just love his staff. Stephanie and Rich are just as caring! Last year, he did my C6-7. Now, I have issues with my L4-5. After my experience last year, there is no doctor or staff I trust more than Dr. Dunn, Stephanie, and Rich, his PA, to take better care of me than that staff! You can't even see the scar from my first surgery last year. Anytime someone tells me they have any back issues, I always refer them to Dr. Dunn.” –Frankie M.

If you have visited DOC, you may have heard the term “Arthroscopy” but you may not know what this means.

This is referring to a procedure using a special camera to treat joint problems. During this procedure an orthopedic surgeon will insert a special camera through a small incision to allow the surgeon to see inside and even repair joints without having to make a large incision.

Visit our website to learn more about how physicians are specialized in this procedure and how it changes your orthopedic care.
