NURSEMAID’S ELBOW | Nursemaid's elbow occurs when a child's elbow joint partially dislocates, often from pulling or yanking on their arm—or from something as innocent as swinging them around by their arms—causing the ligaments around the elbow to slip. It's common in children ages 1 – 4 and can cause discomfort and limited arm movement.

If a child suddenly avoids using their arm, keeps it close to their body, or shows signs of discomfort when trying to move it, nursemaid's elbow could be the culprit. The affected arm may appear slightly bent, and the child may be hesitant to straighten it.

We believe in the power of prevention. Educating parents, caregivers, and even older siblings about the risks and how to handle a child's arm safely can help reduce the likelihood of nursemaid's elbow.

If you or a loved one is suffering from an elbow injury or condition, request an appointment with one of our elbow experts!

DID YOU KNOW? | Most bike-related injuries we treat could’ve been prevented with just a few simple precautions.

We love seeing our community stay active—and biking is one of the best ways to enjoy the outdoors, get some exercise, and even commute. But whether you’re pedaling through the neighborhood or training for your next long ride, safety must come first.

Here are a few tips from our team (we’ve seen it all—trust us!):

🔹 Helmets aren’t optional. Even at low speeds, a fall can cause serious head or neck injuries.
🔹 Check your setup. A poorly fitted bike can strain your back, knees, and wrists over time.
🔹 Stay alert. Potholes, gravel, and distracted drivers can turn a good ride into a painful one.
🔹 Be visible. Reflectors, lights, and bright clothing can make all the difference—especially at dawn or dusk.

If a tumble off your bike has left you with pain—don’t tough it out. We’re here to help you recover and ride again.
