Next Journey Orthopaedics offers personalized fracture care with expert trauma specialists, compassionate support, and seamless coordination—empowering your recovery every step of the way PRICE Education Heat Therapy Personalized Care When To See An Specialist Prevention Tips Call to Action FAQs Treat Injuries Effectively with PRICE: Prevention, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation, and Heat Healing Made Simple with Expert Guidance Injuries can be challenging, but with the right care and approach, recovery becomes smoother. At Next Journey Orthopaedics, we focus on proven treatment methods like PRICE—Prevention, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation, and Heat—to ensure effective healing and long-term wellness. Whether you’re dealing with a sprain, strain, or another injury, our patient-first approach combines expertise with compassionate care. What Is PRICE and Why Is It Effective? PRICE is a simple yet highly effective method for managing and treating injuries, including sprains, strains, and minor joint injuries. Here's what it entails: Prevention: Avoid further injury by using protective gear, warming up before activities, and maintaining proper technique. Rest: Allow the injured area to heal by minimizing movement and avoiding strain. Ice: Reduce swelling and pain with ice packs for 15–20 minutes every few hours. Compression: Support the injured area with an elastic bandage to minimize swelling and provide stability. Elevation: Keep the injured area elevated above heart level to improve blood flow and reduce swelling. Heat: After the swelling subsides, use heat therapy to relax muscles and promote circulation for faster healing. Heat Therapy Heat therapy is most effective during later stages of recovery, helping to improve circulation and relax stiff muscles. Use a heating pad or warm towel for 15-20 minutes, but avoid direct application to injuries with active swelling. Personalized Care At Next Journey Orthopaedics, we understand that no two injuries are the same. That’s why we tailor every treatment plan to your specific needs. Our team of specialists works closely with you to create a recovery plan that includes: Customized PRICE protocols for your injury. Guidance on transitioning from ice to heat therapy. Exercises to restore strength and flexibility. Lifestyle recommendations to prevent future injuries. When to See an Orthopaedic Specialist While PRICE is highly effective for many injuries, some conditions require professional care. Contact Next Journey Orthopaedics if you experience: Severe pain or swelling that doesn’t improve with PRICE. Difficulty moving or bearing weight on the injured area. Signs of infection, such as redness or warmth around the injury. Our team will assess your injury and recommend advanced treatments, if needed, including imaging, physical therapy, or minimally invasive procedures. Empowering you with Injury Prevention Tips Prevention is the key to staying active and injury-free. Here are some tips from our experts: Warm up and stretch before physical activities. Use proper footwear and protective gear. Avoid overtraining and allow time for recovery. Focus on strength and balance exercises to reduce injury risk.

Schedule your Appointment Today FAQs How long should I use ice after an injury? You should use ice for the first 24 to 72 hours after an injury to reduce swelling and pain. Apply an ice pack for 15–20 minutes every 2–3 hours, ensuring there is a barrier (like a towel) between the ice and your skin to prevent frostbite. Once the swelling subsides, you can switch to heat therapy to relax muscles and improve circulation When is it safe to switch from ice to heat? It’s safe to switch to heat therapy after the acute swelling has gone down, usually 48–72 hours after the injury. Heat therapy is ideal for loosening stiff muscles, improving circulation, and promoting healing in the later stages of recovery. However, if there’s still visible swelling or inflammation, stick to ice. Can I use PRICE for chronic injuries? Yes, parts of PRICE, like heat, rest, and compression, can be used for chronic injuries. Heat therapy can help with stiffness and muscle relaxation, while rest and compression may support healing. However, chronic injuries often require additional treatment like physical therapy, and you should consult a specialist for a personalized recovery plan.

Spine Appointments Shoulder Arthritis Arthritis in the shoulder joint can result from various causes, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis. Symptoms typically include shoulder pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced range of motion. Biceps Tendonitis Biceps tendonitis involves inflammation of the long head of the biceps tendon, which runs from the shoulder to the elbow. Symptoms include shoulder pain, particularly in the front of the shoulder, and may worsen with overhead activities or lifting. Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) Frozen shoulder is characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, often resulting from inflammation and tightening of the shoulder capsule. Symptoms typically progress slowly and may worsen over time, leading to significant limitations in shoulder mobility. Labral Tear The labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint, providing stability and cushioning. Tears in the labrum can occur due to trauma, overuse, or repetitive shoulder movements. Symptoms may include shoulder pain, clicking or popping sensations, and feelings of instability. Instability of Shoulder This condition involves excessive movement or looseness of the shoulder joint, which can result in frequent dislocations or subluxations (partial dislocations). Symptoms may include a sensation of the shoulder "slipping out of place," pain, weakness, and decreased range of motion. Impingement Syndrome This condition occurs when the rotator cuff tendons become pinched or compressed between the bones in the shoulder. Symptoms often include shoulder pain, particularly with overhead movements, and may worsen with repetitive activities. Rotator Cuff Tear This is a common shoulder injury involving damage to the muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Symptoms include shoulder pain, weakness, limited range of motion, and difficulty with overhead activities. Tendonitis Tendonitis, or tendinitis, involves inflammation or irritation of a tendon, typically due to overuse or repetitive motion

Accurate fracture diagnosis, advanced imaging, and personalized care await you at Next Journey Orthopaedics. Our compassionate experts guide you every step toward recovery. Call 571-425-5393 today—your healing journey begins here. Diagnosis of Fractures At Next Journey Orthopaedics, we understand that experiencing a fracture can be overwhelming and filled with uncertainty. Our goal is to provide compassionate, expert care to help you feel informed and supported every step of the way. Diagnosing a fracture accurately is the first step in your journey to recovery, and our team uses a combination of thorough physical examinations and advanced imaging techniques to ensure the best possible care. Physical Examination When you visit us with a suspected fracture, our experienced orthopedic specialists will begin with a comprehensive physical examination. We take the time to listen to your concerns, understand your symptoms, and gently assess the injured area. During the examination, we will look for: Pain and Tenderness: Identifying areas that may indicate a break. Swelling and Bruising: Signs that can help us locate the injury and assess its severity. Deformity: Checking for any visible changes in the shape of the bone. Range of Motion: Carefully evaluating how well you can move the affected area without causing discomfort. We know that being examined can sometimes be uncomfortable, but rest assured, our compassionate team will prioritize your comfort and guide you through the process with patience and care. Imaging Techniques While a physical exam provides valuable insights, imaging is essential to confirm a fracture and determine the most effective treatment plan. Our practice offers state-of-the-art imaging technology to give us a clear picture of your injury. X-rays: The First Step in Diagnosis X-rays are often the first and most commonly used tool to diagnose a fracture. They provide a detailed image of your bones and help us determine: If a fracture is present. The type of fracture (such as a hairline crack or a more complex break). Whether the bones are properly aligned or require intervention. The process is quick and painless. Our caring team will ensure you are positioned comfortably, and we’ll explain each step so you know exactly what to expect. CT Scans: A Closer Look at Complex Fractures Sometimes, fractures can be more complex or located in areas that require a closer look. A CT scan (computed tomography) provides a more detailed, cross-sectional view of your bones and surrounding structures. This advanced imaging helps us: Detect fractures that may not be visible on standard X-rays. Assess the extent of the injury with 3D images for better treatment planning. Evaluate fractures near joints or areas with complex anatomy. If a CT scan is recommended, our team will guide you through the process, making sure you're comfortable and informed every step of the way. MRI Scans: Understanding Soft Tissue Involvement In cases where more information about soft tissues (such as ligaments, muscles, and cartilage) is needed, an MRI scan (magnetic resonance imaging) may be recommended. Unlike X-rays and CT scans, MRI uses magnetic fields to create detailed images of both bones and soft tissues, helping us: Identify injuries that may accompany a fracture, such as ligament or tendon damage. Assess stress fractures that may not show up on an X-ray. Plan comprehensive treatment for optimal healing. We understand that MRIs can feel intimidating, but our team will be by your side to ensure a smooth and reassuring experience. Compassionate Care You Can Trust At Next Journey Orthopaedics, we are committed to providing you with the highest quality care in a warm and welcoming environment. Whether you're here for an initial diagnosis or seeking a second opinion, our team is here to support you, answer your questions, and guide you toward healing with confidence. If you have any concerns about your symptoms or need guidance on the next steps, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 571-425-5393 or schedule an appointment online. Your journey to healing starts here.

Fractures don’t have to be overwhelming. Learn about types, causes, symptoms, and treatments with compassionate, expert guidance to support your confident healing journey. Understanding Fractures Fractures can be a challenging and sometimes overwhelming experience, but understanding them can help you feel more confident about your journey to healing. Our goal is to provide clear, compassionate guidance to help you or your loved ones navigate this process with confidence and support. Definition and Types of Fractures A fracture, commonly known as a broken bone, occurs when the force applied to a bone is greater than it can withstand. Fractures can vary in severity and complexity, ranging from minor hairline cracks to complete breaks. Understanding the type of fracture you have is essential in determining the best course of treatment. The most common types of fractures include: Closed (Simple) Fracture: The bone breaks but does not pierce the skin. Open (Compound) Fracture: The bone breaks and protrudes through the skin, increasing the risk of infection. Displaced Fracture: The broken bone ends are out of alignment and may require surgery to reposition. Non-Displaced Fracture: The bone breaks but remains properly aligned. Stress Fracture: A small crack in the bone caused by repetitive stress, often seen in athletes. Greenstick Fracture: A partial fracture where the bone bends and cracks, more common in children. Comminuted Fracture: The bone shatters into multiple pieces, often requiring surgical intervention. Causes and Risk Factors Fractures can happen unexpectedly, and understanding the causes and risk factors can help prevent future injuries. Some of the most common causes include: Trauma or Injury: Falls, car accidents, or sports injuries can place excessive force on bones, leading to fractures. Overuse: Repetitive activities, such as running or jumping, can cause stress fractures over time. Osteoporosis: This condition weakens bones, making them more susceptible to fractures, especially in older adults. Nutritional Deficiencies: A lack of calcium and vitamin D can weaken bones and increase the likelihood of fractures. Medical Conditions: Certain conditions, such as cancer or diabetes, can weaken bones and make fractures more likely. Aging: As we age, our bones naturally become less dense and more fragile, increasing the risk of fractures. Symptoms and Diagnosis Recognizing the symptoms of a fracture early can lead to prompt treatment and better outcomes. Some of the most common signs include: Pain: Immediate and intense pain at the site of injury, which may worsen with movement. Swelling and Bruising: The injured area may become swollen, tender, and discolored. Deformity: In severe cases, the bone may appear out of place or misaligned. Limited Mobility: Difficulty moving the affected area or bearing weight. Numbness or Tingling: This can indicate nerve involvement and requires immediate medical attention. If you suspect a fracture, seeking medical care is crucial. Diagnosis typically involves: Physical Examination: A healthcare provider will assess the injury and check for signs of a fracture. X-rays: The most common imaging technique to confirm a fracture and determine its severity. CT Scan or MRI: In complex cases, these advanced imaging methods provide a more detailed view of the injury. At our practice, we understand that experiencing a fracture can be difficult. Our compassionate team is here to provide expert care and support every step of the way. Whether you're seeking information or treatment, we're dedicated to helping you get back to doing the things you love.

Recover faster and stronger with Next Journey Orthopaedics. Uncover expert insights on bone healing stages, nutrition for recovery, and personalized care to regain your mobility. Healing Process Recovering from a fracture is a journey that requires patience, care, and the right support. At Next Journey Orthopaedics, we’re here to guide you every step of the way with expert insights and compassionate care. Understanding how your body heals can provide reassurance and help you take the necessary steps to support your recovery. Stages of Bone Healing Bone healing is a natural process that occurs in distinct stages, each playing a crucial role in restoring strength and function: Inflammation Phase (First Few Days): Immediately after a fracture, the body responds by sending blood to the injury site, forming a clot that protects the area and initiates healing. Soft Callus Formation (1-2 Weeks): Special cells called fibroblasts produce a soft callus made of collagen that bridges the broken bone ends, providing initial stability. Hard Callus Formation (4-6 Weeks): The soft callus gradually hardens as minerals like calcium and phosphorus are deposited, strengthening the bone. Bone Remodeling (Several Months to a Year): The bone continues to reshape and strengthen, gradually restoring its normal structure and function. Every stage is essential, and it's important to follow your treatment plan carefully to support your body's healing process. Factors Affecting Healing Several factors can influence how quickly and effectively your bone heals: Age: Younger individuals generally heal faster due to a more robust bone regeneration process. Overall Health: Conditions such as diabetes, osteoporosis, and poor circulation can slow healing. Nutrition: A balanced diet rich in essential vitamins and minerals supports the healing process. Activity Level: Following your doctor's recommendations for rest and gradual activity helps avoid complications. Smoking and Alcohol Use: These can impair blood flow and delay healing, so it's best to avoid them during your recovery. Taking a proactive approach by maintaining a healthy lifestyle can make a significant difference in your recovery. Diet to Help Bone Healing and Avoid Inflammation Nutrition plays a critical role in bone healing. Eating the right foods can help speed up recovery and reduce inflammation: Protein-Rich Foods: Lean meats, fish, beans, and nuts provide the building blocks your body needs to repair bone tissue. Leafy Greens: Spinach, kale, and broccoli are rich in vitamins and minerals essential for bone strength. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in foods like salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds, these can help reduce inflammation and promote healing. Anti-Inflammatory Foods: Turmeric, ginger, and berries contain antioxidants that help combat inflammation. Hydration: Staying well-hydrated supports overall cellular function and nutrient transport. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive caffeine, as they can contribute to inflammation and slow healing. Calcium and Vitamin D Recommendations Based on Age and Gender Calcium and Vitamin D are essential for bone health, and your needs change based on your age and gender: Children (Ages 4-8): 1,000 mg of calcium and 600 IU of vitamin D daily. Teens (Ages 9-18): 1,300 mg of calcium and 600 IU of vitamin D daily. Adults (Ages 19-50): 1,000 mg of calcium and 600 IU of vitamin D daily.
