Volleyball Injuries Can Be Avoided, Cautions Atlanta Orthopaedic Surgeons

Volleyball injuries occur when people do not properly prepare themselves for play.

2012-12-20

NORCROSS, GA, December 20, 2012 (Press-News.org) Atlanta orthopaedic surgeons at OrthoAtlanta caution people to watch out for volleyball related sports injuries during the summer months. Atlanta-based OrthoAtlanta suggest that summer time play can be a lot of fun, but also requires proper stretching.

Volleyball injuries occur when people do not do not warm up their body properly. Atlanta orthopaedics with OrthoAtlanta suggest that, while the entire body should be stretch, focus should be on the legs, as this is where most of the injuries occur. They advise people to stretch all the major muscle groups of the legs, and warm up the ankles as well. This can help people avoid injury.

"Just ten minutes of stretching can make all the difference," said Dr. Michael Behr, Atlanta orthopaedic surgeon with OrthoAtlanta. "Stretching all the major muscles groups can help avoid tearing due to inflexibility or overuse."

Atlanta orthopaedic doctors at OrthoAtlanta also advise that people should cool down the muscles after play, to avoid future injuries. Simple stretches before and after a pickup game can help the overall health and resilience of the muscles.

Atlanta orthopaedic surgeons at OrthoAtlanta suggest that people incorporate stretching into the daily routine of sports and recreation to avoid damaging major muscles and joints. Many injuries can be prevented through daily stretching, but when injuries do occur, OrthoAtlanta can help.

OrthoAtlanta treat many injuries due to sports or daily mishaps. Focusing on all the major joints, sports medicine and other orthopaedic related traumas, these Atlanta orthopaedic surgeons at OrthoAtlanta help patients get back to their lives in minimal time.

Do palm trees hold the key to immortality?

2012-12-19

For centuries, humans have been exploring, researching, and, in some cases, discovering how to stave off life-threatening diseases, increase life spans, and obtain immortality. Biologists, doctors, spiritual gurus, and even explorers have pursued these quests—one of the most well-known examples being the legendary search by Ponce de León for the "Fountain of Youth." Yet the key to longevity may not lie in a miraculous essence of water, but rather in the structure and function of cells within a plant—and not a special, mysterious, rare plant, but one that we may think of ...

UofL scientist uncovers how airway cells regenerate after chlorine gas injury

2012-12-19

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Scarring of the airways can lead to long-term breathing problems for some people exposed to high levels of chlorine gas from events such as an industrial accident, chemical spill following a train derailment or terroristic chemical warfare. Household mishaps from mixing bleach with acidic cleaning products also can cause release of chlorine gas; if this occurs in a poorly ventilated space, chlorine levels could be high enough to cause lung injury.
