This Memorial Day, we remember the men and women who have dedicated their lives to the service of our country.

It's true - stress fractures in the foot really can happen to anyone. Even though these types of injuries are often caused by rapidly increasing training volume and/or intensity, but they can also happen if you're unlucky enough to step awkwardly on a rock, root, or pothole.

It's time for Talk with the Doc, live with Dr. Weber! If you have questions, leave them in the comments!!!

Dr. Weber is almost out of surgery - he'll be here and be LIVE just as soon as he can...thanks for your patience!!!

It's official - Dr. Weber will be LIVE on Facebook this afternoon at 4:30pm!!! He'll be discussing the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment (and more!) of plantar fasciitis - make sure to join in on his LIVE presentation!!!

POST MARATHON TIPS: Week 3 – This week you can start running a longer AND a little faster. If things are still feeling well, in week three ease back into distance and intensity. Remember - if you’re running multiple races in one season it is vital to invest in optimal recovery!

Coaches - If you suspect a player has a concussion, remove them from play, let their parent/guardian know about the injury, and have them evaluated by a healthcare professional as soon as possible. Remember - it's better to miss one game than the whole season!!!

POST MARATHON TIPS: Week 2 – Planning your runs? Make sure they're short and easy. With that said, If things still hurt back off on the running and stick with the cross-training for a bit longer. If all goes according to plan, you can start back to your normal running frequency but keep the effort easy and the distances shorter.

Happy Mother's Day! We love you, mom!!!

Provider Spotlight: “There are few gifts greater than being able to impact people's lives by utilizing acquired skills and knowledge to provide the appropriate health care. Practicing as a Physician Assistant in orthopaedics at LOC allows me to incorporate three passions that I have in the health care profession: the human musculoskeletal system, sports medicine, and helping those in need.” - Ryan Baumert, PA

Talk with the Doc! Coming up here soon we'll have Dr. Weber in front of the camera doing a Facebook LIVE session to chat about some of his favorite ortho topics. What's something that you'd like to hear him talk about???

POST MARATHON TIPS: Week I – Spend this time resting, doing a bit of cross-training and, eventually, testing the waters. Focus on short, light effort, low impact cross-training activities that will boost circulation, warm your muscles, and aid in the healing journey. If all feels well later that week, run a short “testing the waters” easy effort run. Above all - don't overdo it!!!
