Tips for a Fun & Injury-Free 4th of July 🎆
At OrthoSouth, we love a good celebration—but we also want you to stay safe while enjoying the sunshine, fireworks, and festivities! Here are a few quick tips to help you avoid common orthopedic injuries this holiday weekend:
☀️ Lift Smart at the Lake or Grill
✅ Bend at your knees, not your back.
✅ Don’t twist while lifting heavy coolers or chairs.
👟 Watch Your Step
✅ Uneven terrain + flip-flops = sprains waiting to happen.
✅ Supportive shoes help prevent slips, trips, and falls.
🧨 Protect Your Hands
✅ Leave fireworks to the pros—hand injuries are common this time of year.
🚴 Be Cautious with Summer Sports
✅ Warm up before any activity.
✅ Wear proper gear (helmets, braces, pads, etc.).
If you do take a tumble, our team is here to help you bounce back quickly!
🌟 Stay safe, stay active, and have a happy 4th of July from all of us at OrthoSouth!
