It’s National Nutrition Month, and Brad Clark, ATC, and Andrew Roden, PA-C, are here to remind you to flex on your nutrition goals!

In the world of Sports + Ortho, we know that exercise is only half the battle. Whether you’re healing from a “dramatic turn” of an injury or just trying to stay at the top of your game, what you eat determines how you move.

Why “fueling the flex” is a game-changer:
✨ Faster Healing: Nutrients like Vitamin C and Zinc are building blocks for repair.
✨ Better Mobility: Healthy fats help keep inflammation at bay.
✨ More Energy: The right fuel keeps you active and thriving.

You don’t have to be an elite athlete to benefit from better nutrition—you just have to be willing to start! 💪✨

What’s your go-to “power meal” to stay fueled? Let us know in the comments! 👇

For Cara Huckaby, LPN, the calling to the medical field started at a young age. 📺👧 From watching medical shows with her brother to navigating the rewarding world of patient care, Cara’s journey has always been about making a difference.

Before joining our orthopedic team, Cara spent nine years in dialysis—a role she describes as “an eye-opener to the medical world.” It was there that she truly discovered her passion for connecting with patients during their most vulnerable times. ❤️

Now, Cara brings that same heart and dedication to RiverRun HEALTH. For her, the most rewarding part of orthopedics is seeing the long-term transformation. 🔄💪

“It has given me the opportunity as a nurse to significantly impact a person whose life has just taken a dramatic turn with his or her injury,” Cara says. There is nothing quite like seeing a patient thrive and return to the life they love!

We are so grateful to have Cara’s compassion and expertise on our team. Help us show her some love in the comments! 👇

Dealing with chronic back pain can feel like an uphill battle, but the right moves can make all the difference! 🏔️✨

Shawnee Orr, PTA, from our RiverRun Physical Therapy team, is demonstrating three essential moves designed to relieve tension, improve stability, and get you back to moving comfortably.

The Back Pain-Relief Routine:
1️⃣ Active Hamstring Stretch: Tight hamstrings are a common culprit for lower back pull. This gentle move helps release that tension.
2️⃣ Single Knee-to-Chest: A classic move to decompress the spine and stretch the muscles of the lower back and hips.
3️⃣ Lower Trunk Rotations: By gently letting your knees fall from side to side, you help rotate the lower spine and stretch the muscles that often get stiff from sitting.

💡 Shawnee’s Pro-Tips for Success:
-Keep Shoulders Grounded: On the rotations, try to keep your upper back and shoulders flat on the surface.
-No Pain, All Gain: These should feel like a satisfying stretch, not a sharp pinch.
-Breathe: Take deep breaths to help your nervous system relax into the movement.
-Small moves lead to big relief! Try incorporating these into your daily routine to help manage chronic discomfort. 💪🩹

Ready to stop “playing games” with your back health? Our team is here to help you find a long-term solution.

For Erica Hickman, LPN, nursing wasn’t just a career choice—it was a calling that started when she was a little girl.

Erica’s journey began early:
❤️ Early Start: She began taking medical classes in high school.
🏥 ER Experience: She participated in a co-op program and started in the emergency room as a patient care tech.
🕊️ A Personal Turning Point: In high school, her family moved in her great-grandfather, Poppy. Erica helped her mom care for him while he was on hospice.

“That solidified for me—nursing and helping/caring for people is what I wanted to do,” Erica shares.

As an LPN at RiverRun HEALTH, Erica brings that same lifelong passion and “family-first” heart to every patient she sees. We are so lucky to have her on our team!
