Hiking is great way to enjoy the outdoors and nature and
get a good cardiovascular workout along the way! But, did you know that knee
and ankle injuries are especially common among hikers? Ankle and knee sprains
occur from stepping awkwardly over irregular terrain or uneven surfaces. These sprains are painful, debilitating and are a prime
target for regenerative injections to hasten healing and repair which otherwise
can take 8-12 weeks and longer. Something else to be
cautious about is that hiking, especially with a backpack, can spur or
exacerbate hip arthritis and make walking painful-so be careful and don’t go
overboard!
And of course wrist,
shoulder, and elbow sprains from “trips-and-falls” onto outstretched limbs
require can be a problem if you aren’t careful! Enjoy your time on the
mountainside trails and know that regenerative orthopedic injections of stem cells and platelet rich
plasma are very helpful for quick recovery as they amplify the natural healing
process and restore normal strength, function and eliminate pain.
