The gift of healing. It’s a gift that keeps on giving and can keep you going. During the holiday season, this is one gift that may be critically important and highly useful. We are sometimes so worried about finding that perfect Black Friday deal or the perfect Christmas decorations that we might forget to take care of our own bodies.

Aches, breaks, and dislocations don’t take a break - here's how orthopedic care can brighten your spirits over the holidays.

Always on call

The holidays don't mean a vacation from potential orthopedic pitfalls, and, luckily for you, orthopedic caregivers are typically on-call throughout the break to ensure patients are well provided for in the event of an injury or incident. Pain can wear on you in both the physical and emotional sense and can consume your energy and focus. When that pain is alleviated, you can get back to the things you truly care about and were otherwise unable to do.

Because of a team of committed physicians, Orthopedic Institute (OI) is one such facility that has on-call physicians provide healing services from when the first snowflake falls to when the last one melts.

Physicians with passion

You won't get better care than from physicians and clinic staff who have a drive and a passion for healing. That's why selecting a healthcare provider with a stellar crew is so critical to your end results. OI's own team members are drawn to the field of orthopedics for a variety of reasons, including genuine curiosity for medicine, family influences and a nurturing spirit. One thing they all have in common, though, is passion for healing.

Determined follow-through

A commitment to seeing the healing process through to a patient-pleasing ending is another crucial gift when it comes to orthopedic care, particularly during the holiday season. Injury can keep you from taking part in family traditions and things you truly care about, so having a caregiver with amazing follow-through can make all the difference.

OI's physicians appreciate the opportunity to come alongside patients in their times of need, whether that's a devastating injury or debilitating pain. They're committed to walking patients through the process step by step - and the last step is resolution.  OI's team strives to get patients back to the things that matter most to them through the healing process.

Just remember this season to always be conscious of your health. There is a lot of comfort in knowing that if unexpected injury or physical pain occurs for you or your loved ones, there are caring physicians in your community who are ready to deliver the gift of healing.
