Poolside Mishaps Can Be Avoided Urges Atlanta Orthopaedic Surgeon

Atlanta-based OrthoAtlanta urges Atlanta pool owners to consider poolside safety in these Atlanta summer months.

2012-12-12

NORCROSS, GA, December 12, 2012 (Press-News.org) Atlanta orthopaedic surgeons, OrthoAtlanta, urge Atlanta pool owners to remember safety during the summer months.

With the temperature rising, many home owners are utilizing their pools or visiting their local pool to avoid the heat. While pools can be a great way to beat the heat, many poolside injuries can occur. Most people don't think of swimming and poolside fun as dangerous, but injuries, such as sprained ankles and torn ACLs, can occur at any time.

Atlanta orthopaedic surgeons at OrthoAtlanta encourage pool visitors to use extreme caution when playing around at the pool. Poolside injuries often occur when people are not paying attention to their surroundings and slip on wet concrete. Other injuries occur when swimmers play games within the water and land wrong. These injuries can be avoided if swimmers avoid getting to rambunctious.

"Running should be avoided when poolside," said Dr. Michael Behr, Atlanta orthopaedic surgeon with OrthoAtlanta. "A minor slip on the concrete can destabilize the joints and cause an injury. Not only that, but other injuries can result in such a slip."

Finding the right balance of fun and safety is essential to avoiding injury. Atlanta orthopaedic doctors at OrthoAtlanta urge swimmers to think wisely when playing at the pool.

A day at the pool should not turn into a visit to the doctor, but even with proper precautions accidents do occur. OrthoAtlanta can help treat injuries and traumas incur in poolside accidents, as well as other sports-related injuries. With multiple locations, OrthoAtlanta can help get a patient poolside in no time.
