At Midwest Orthopaedic Institute Mondays are made for Monday Morning Quarterbacks that woke up with that sprain or pain, tweak or break that they want to have seen without an appointment by an orthopaedic specialist.

ACTIVE TIP #7
Tuesday, October 18th, 2011
Get new shoes! Those old comfy sneaks feel great to lounge around in but they are not providing you with the stability that you need. Especially if you are doing more than just lounging around.

PHYSICAL THERAPY MONTH – ACTIVE TIP #4
Monday, September 26th, 2011
PILLOWS SHOULD SUPPORT YOUR HEAD AND KEEP THE SPINE IN A NEUTRAL POSITION
TOO MANY OR TOO LITTLE IS A PROBLEM
- DO NOT SLEEP ON YOUR STOMACH – IT IS BAD FOR THE CERVICAL SPINE AND LEADS TO FURTHER PROBLEMS.
- SLEEPING ON YOUR BACK – PLACE A PILLOW UNDERNEATH YOUR KNEES TO TAKE PRESSURE OFF YOUR LOWER BACK.
- SLEEPING ON YOUR SIDE – HAVE A PILLOW BETWEEN YOUR KNEES AND ELBOWS TO SUPPORT THE BODY AND NOT OVERSTRETCH THE TOP SIDE AND OVER CONTRACT THE BOTTOM SIDE. A PILLOW BEHIND YOUR BACK OFFERS MORE SUPPORT IF YOU FEEL UNSTABLE.

PHYSICAL THERAPY MONTH – ACTIVE TIP #3
Monday, September 19th, 2011
- RUNNERS SHOULD OPTIMALLY HAVE AT LEAST 2 PAIRS OF QUALITY SHOES TO ROTATE FOR THEIR RUNS THOUGHOUT THE WEEK. (AT LEAST EVERYOTHER DAY) SHOCK ABSORBERS IN THE SOLES OF YOUR SHOES TAKE APPROXIMATELY 48 HOURS TO RECOVER AFTER A RUN
- REPLACE YOUR SHOES IF WORN – EASY WAY TO CHECK IS TO GRASP YOUR SHOE IMMEDIATELY ABOVE THE SOLE AND SQUEEZE. IF IT COMPRESSES EASILY THEN IT IS TIME FOR A NEW SHOE
