25.01.2022 Weight-bearing exercise doesn’t mean just weight lifting. Exercises like running, walking, hiking, tennis, and dancing are all considered weight-bearing activities and help to build stronger bones. Always consult with your orthopedic surgeon before starting a new exercise program.

20.01.2022 The word Orthopedics comes from the Greek Ortho (meaning STRAIGHT) and Pedi (meaning CHILD). This is Dr. Traske Muir’s son trying to play it straight in the hotel hallway. Many Orthopedic problems are caused by alignment problems. Sometimes serious long term problems can be avoided through realignment. ... Usually this can be improved with therapy or inserts. Occasionally surgery is required to correct serious deformities. One telltale sign of alignment problems can be calluses on your feet. Keep an eye on those tootsies!

18.01.2022 Another view for perspective. Dr Muir at the base, 5’8 (first thing in the morning). Waterfall, approximately 400 ft.

17.01.2022 Heel fractures, also known as calcanea fractures, are usually the result of a traumatic event--most commonly a fall or car accident.

08.01.2022 Not getting enough calcium can result in brittle bones, muscle cramps, and muscle spasms.

07.01.2022 One of Dr. Muir‘s favorite things to do is explore new places. He just returned from a vacation with his wife this week.Here’s a picture from one of their hikes. If anyone can name this waterfall, we reward your geographic knowledge with a gift card to Village Baker!!... Any guesses?

05.01.2022 HAGLUND DEFORMITY Know anybody with a bump on the back of their heel? Chances are they have one of these. ... Usually called a Haglund Deformity (pretty name, huh?) or a Pump Bump ( for the pretty shoes that can cause the problem). Typically patients have a bony prominence on the back of the heel bone. A tight Achilles tendon can become irritated and sustain micro tears. This, in turn causes the bump to get bigger and can be extremely painful. There are a few treatment options: some surgical, some non-surgical. Here are a couple of the more creative options I’ve seen patients try: 1) My aunt uses a utility knife to cut the back off of all her shoes! 2) The wife of one patient was convinced that the tender bump was a cyst. After making her husband lie face down on the bed, she raised a heavy dictionary overhead and smashed it down on his heel to pop the cyst. When it didn’t pop, she repeated the process until the bone cracked. When I saw him in the office, I had good news and bad news for them.

04.01.2022 Here’s the weekly schedule for the World Cup! Who are you cheering for?

02.01.2022 Whether it’s the result of a simple strain or something more serious, swollen feet aren’t fun.

01.01.2022 Today we say goodbye to this bright young star. Nick Ashton has been a big part of Dr. Muir’s clinic for the past couple of years working as a Medical Assistant and teaching Dr. Muir what Facebook is!! Many of you might have seen him in the office rolling around on this laptop buggy or perhaps he removed your stitches!... As he moves on to complete his nursing training we wish him success. He has served our patients well and has made this a fun place to work. Join us in thanking him and sending our best wishes.
