Spring cleaning isn’t just for closets—your joints could use a reset too. 😉🌷
This March, try focusing on 3 simple habits:

1️⃣ A realistic daily walking goal (even 5–10 extra minutes counts)
2️⃣ Strength training 2x/week to support your knees, hips, and back
3️⃣ A little balance work so you feel steadier on your feet

You don’t have to overhaul your whole life to feel a difference. Small, consistent steps can help your joints feel better heading into spring.

If pain is getting in the way, our team at Plano Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Center is here to help.

⚾️ 24 years of Spring Training and counting.

Dr. Troop just returned from another unforgettable trip to Texas Rangers Spring Training in Surprise, Arizona — a tradition he’s kept going since 2003.

That’s more than two decades of watching the game, supporting the team, and being part of the excitement that builds each season.

Ever catch yourself late-night Googling ortho questions and still feeling confused? 👀
You are so not alone.

At Plano Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Center, we hear the same big questions every day from patients all over Plano and DFW — from first-time injuries to people preparing for joint replacement surgery. Our fellowship-trained surgeons and specialists are here for all of it.

In this carousel, we’re talking through some of the top questions we’re getting in 2026:
➡️ Will I set off airport security with my joint replacement?
➡️ How long until I can drive after surgery?
➡️ Can PRP or other injections really delay a knee replacement?

Here’s the thing: no question is a bad question.
If you’re wondering it, someone else is too — and we’d rather you ask us than worry in silence or rely on random search results.
👉 Comment below and tell us which question you want to see as a reel next, or drop a new question you’ve been holding onto.

If pain or an old injury is starting to control your day, our team at Plano Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Center is here to help you get moving again: www.posmc.com | 972-250-5700.

Ever gone for “just one more game” of pickleball… and your ankle, shoulder, or knee paid the price the next day? 😅🏓
We’re seeing more and more players come in with:
🔹 Ankle sprains from quick side steps
🔹 Wrist injuries from trying to catch a fall
🔹 Achy shoulders from serves and overhead shots
🔹 Knee strains or meniscus tears from all that twisting and lunging

You don’t have to give up the game you love—but your joints need a little protection: warm up, wear supportive shoes, and don’t play through sharp or lingering pain.
If that “pickleball soreness” isn’t going away, our team at Plano Orthopedic & Sports Medicine is here to help you get back on the court safely.

📞 To schedule an appointment, call 972-250-5700 or book online at www.posmc.com

Tag your pickleball crew so they don’t limp into their next match. 👇
