Share Your Story of Orthopaedic Recovery

Leave a reply

 

Did you know one in four Americans suffers from an impairment that impacts their ability to move?  We often take everyday activities for granted until something goes wrong.  Orthopedic surgeons understand bone and joint health issues and dedicate their abilities to helping those who have lost mobility regain it back and be free to enjoy every stage of life.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) has created a national campaign called A Nation in Motion, which shares stories of over 600 patients, whose lives have been saved or restored through high-quality orthopedic care.  AAOS is on a mission to share these stories, in hopes of encouraging all orthopedic patients to follow suit.  “Through our work, we strive to provide our patients with high-quality care that keeps them and our country “A Nation in Motion.” 

Along with AAOS’s amazing efforts to keep bodies in motion, CastCoverz!‘s mission is to bring relief and comfort to orthopedic patients by providing fun, fashionable, AND functional products; such as cast, brace & splint covers, walking boot covers, designer colored crutches and CrutchWear crutch accessories, in addition to companion products that provide waterproof protection and relief from itch and smell.

Feel Better, Heal Better with CastCoverz! and visit A Nation in Motion’s website to share your story of recovery and what you are able to do because of your orthopedic care.  Whether you are a patient, provider, or orthopedic surgeon, we want to hear your personal story or that of one of your patients.

 

Common Causes of Chronic Knee Pain

3 Replies

Did you know the spine and nerves are infamous for referring pain elsewhere?  If a portion of your lower back is irritated, you could possibly feel pain in your back, but you may also feel it in your thigh or knee.

It would seem that if you feel pain in your knee, it must be coming from inside the knee.  This is not always the case.  Knee pain can come from many different areas, including the spine, muscles, tendons, and nerves.

Common causes of chronic knee pain can vary from bulging discs in your back and irritated quadricep muscles, to knee arthritis and tendon tears, in addition to many other causes.  Refer to this cool info-graphic from Regenexx for more information.

The Regenexx Procedures are a family of non-surgical adult stem cell and blood platelet treatments for common injuries and degenerative joint conditions, such as osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis. These stem cell procedures utilize a patient’s own cells to help heal damaged tissues, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, spinal disc, or bone.

If you find yourself wearing a knee brace or having to use crutches due to a knee injury, CastCoverz! has you covered!   CastCoverz! has the world’s largest selection in cast covers and patient requested orthopedic gear.  We give casts, braces, splints, boots, and our designer colored crutches fashion, function and FUN!

Part 3:  How to Bling Your Crutches!

No one wants to be on crutches.  They hurt your hands, your arms, and they certainly hurt your sense of style; and, we all know the frustration of how even the simplest of tasks (carrying keys, a water bottle, cell phone, etc) becomes unmanageable while on crutches. That’s why CastCoverz! brings you the most comfortable, beautiful, expressive, and practical CrutchWear®on the market.  But first, let’s talk about some ideas if you’re stuck with those ugly, standard issue crutches.

“Tribal Fusion” designed by one of our very own customers, shown with our original “Go Wild” 5-piece cover set.

Get creative and think outside the box to bling those babies up.  How about using some leopard print duct tape and ribbon to fashionize your crutches?  Other clever ideas include blinging them up with sparkly rhinestones, covering them up with your favorite stickers or decals, and how about permanent markers?  Use colorful markers to create your own design or have your friends and family autograph them.  If these ideas don’t strike your fancy or you just aren’t the creative type, ask your friends for suggestions, or better yet…have a crutch decorating party…Oh-so-fun!!!  Whatever you do, make them yours!  Please send us your pictures.  We’ll include your design in future posts.
