Our team at OSSM is excited to announce that the excellence we strive for in our integrative approach to treating our orthopedic patients is being recognized: we are the proud recipients the “Best Orthopedic Provider” award for 2021 by The Business Journal of North Idaho.
As we head into the colder months, we want to remind our elderly patients to take extra care when maneuvering the ice and snow. Studies show that when facing icy conditions, adults over the age of 65 had double the odds of having great difficulty when leaving their home, and fall-related fractures are statistically higher in older adults during the winter month. Hip and arm fractures are more common among the elderly in cold weather due to the higher incidence of falls.
