Safe Pain Management

The CDC recommends safer alternatives like physical therapy to manage pain. Avoid addictive Opioids. Choose physical therapy for safe pain management. No one wants to live in pain. But no one should put their health at risk to be pain-free.

Doctor-prescribed opioids are appropriate in some cases, but they just mask the pain—and opioid risks include depression, overdose, and addiction, plus withdrawal symptoms when stopping use.

That's why the CDC recommends safer alternatives like physical therapy to manage pain. Physical therapists treat pain through movement, hands-on care, and patient education—and by increasing physical activity you can also reduce your risk of other chronic diseases.

More tips to help you stay safe in the water

Air-filled or Foam Toys are not safety devices:
Don’t use air-filled or foam toys, such as "water wings", "noodles", or inner tubes, instead of life jackets. These toys are not life jackets and are not designed to keep swimmers safe.

Learn to Swim:
Formal swimming lessons can protect young children from drowning. However, even when children have had formal swimming lessons, constant, careful supervision when children are in the water, and barriers, such as pool fencing to prevent unsupervised access, are still important.

Parents' Day

Parents’ Day is commemorated every year on the fourth Sunday of July. This year, July 28th is a day for thankfulness and gratitude from children towards their parents. The relationship that is shared between parents and child is pious and can’t be expressed even in thousands of words. Our parents teach us the real meaning of life and imbibe in us the positive qualities, which make us better human beings.

Are you an Olympian?

Tomorrow many of us will be watching the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris (beginning at 7:30 p.m. PDT on NBC). The stream of the primetime show will also be available to watch on Peacock, NBCOlympics.com, NBC.com, and the NBC/NBC Sports apps.

Thousands of athletes from around the world will participate in a variety of competitions over 16 days. The Olympic Games are considered to be the world's foremost sports competition with more than 200 nations participating. Team USA is sending over 550 of our best athletes to compete over the next two weeks.

It’s not just that most Olympians are born with a certain set of physiological gifts, although that’s a big part of it. It’s also their commitment to their sports and, perhaps most importantly, the way they train. You may not be an olympian, but no matter what sport you play, your training should also include a physical therapist.

Luckily for all you weekend warriors, physical therapists are movement experts. When something you like to do or want to do isn’t going right or hurts, we watch you do it. As we watch we break down the movement, visualizing what is happening joint by joint. For every movement pattern you do, there is a way for the body to optimally perform. It is then our job to figure out which part of the problematic movement is not optimal, what is preventing that part of the movement from happening perfectly, and then utilize hands-on techniques and exercise interventions to fix it.

Therefore, if you are watching an Olympic athlete row, run, or ride across the finish line of an event and think to yourself, “I could do that”? Give us a call and schedule an appointment with our Olympic team of therapists.

Safety Tips to Beat the Heat This Summer

Follow these steps immediately if you suspect dehydration:
(1) Stop all activity and rest.
(2) Get out of direct sunlight. Go to a shaded and cool area.
(3) Elevate the feet and remove extra layers of clothing.
(4) Drink at least 2 quarts of cool liquids over the next two to four hours.
(5) If you become too hot, you should refrain from any heavy activities for the next 24 hours.

See a doctor immediately if the person loses consciousness, the person becomes dizzy or lightheaded, or if any of the other symptoms worsen. If the person has lost consciousness, he may have suffered sunstroke. Immediate medical attention is required after a heat or sunstroke as brain damage or even death can occur.

Tips to help you stay safe in the water

Use the Buddy System:
Always swim with a buddy. Select swimming sites that have lifeguards when possible.

Seizure Disorder Safety:
If you or a family member has a seizure disorder, provide one-on-one supervision around water, including swimming pools.

Wear life jackets:
Enough said. Your local firehouse can provide FREE life jackets for you to borrow when going to the river. Water wings and blow-up rings are not going to save a life. Do not use them. Get your kids a life jacket that fits them!

Physical Therapy for Low Back Pain

Most Americans will experience back pain. The good news is that most cases of low back pain are not serious and will respond well to conservative treatments such as treatment by a physical therapist.

Physical therapists are movement experts who treat pain through movement and exercise, hands-on care, and patient education.

Physical therapist treatment is a cost-effective first choice in an era when all too often back pain is over-treated with narcotics or unhelpful imaging scans that lead to higher costs.

FIREWORK SAFETY

Fireworks are extremely dangerous. Even fireworks labeled "safe & sane" by their manufacturer and sold this week from charity booths throughout our area can explode unexpectedly. Burns and injuries occur without warning especially when the fireworks are being lit by children, teenagers, or adults who have been drinking all evening at their holiday celebrations.

People are hurt each year by lighting and using fireworks in their neighborhoods. During last year's July 4th holiday weekend, over 1000 children and adults in the greater Sacramento area required emergency medical treatment from our local hospitals and emergency rooms for fireworks-related injuries.

Don’t be one of them. Please read and follow the directions provided by the fireworks manufacturer or charity booth before lighting the fireworks. Here are more safety tips and general guidelines from us to read and share with others.

• Find a safe place, and be prepared.
• Find your first aid kit hidden somewhere in your bathroom (or is it in the garage cabinet?) Before your party, open the first aid kit and refill it with the missing items you have used. You might need these missing items during an emergency but don't have them.
• Bring the First Aid Kit with you to the party. Having it nearby during the fireworks to quickly grab and use is better than trying to find it during the panic after the injury occurs.
• Always have a bucket of water or a garden hose at the ready.
• Never point fireworks at a person, animal, home, tree, or car.
• Make sure adults are present and they are the ones lighting the wicks.
• Kids should never play with fireworks.
• Don’t stand too close. The most injured body parts in fireworks accidents are the hands and fingers (36%), head, face, and ears (22 %) and eyes (16%).

Driving is a tremendous privilege and one that comes with great responsibilities. When you’re driving, just like when you’re a dad, you’re never alone. Everything you do has consequences for those around you. And, just like being a dad, driving can be a heck of a lot of fun. Happy Father's Day wishes to those dads who taught us to drive.
