Fact Friday: Did you know a herniated disc is a common cause of neck and arm pain? When a disc in your cervical spine ruptures, it can press on nerves in your spinal canal, leading to pain, tingling and weakness.

Most cases improve with non-surgical care, but sometimes surgery is needed to restore function.

Ice or heat? Which should you use for an injury?

Both can help, but knowing when to use them makes all of the difference. Here are some quick tips from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.

🧊 Ice is best for acute injuries, inflammation, and swelling. Apply this ASAP after an injury for up to 20 minutes a time. Always use a towel or cloth in between ice and skin.

🔥 Heat is best for muscle pain and joint stiffness. Use warm temperatures (not hot) to prevent burns. Avoid heat if the area is swollen, bruised or has an open wound.

Fact Friday: All About Vitamin D

Vitamin D is essential for strong, healthy bones & muscles. Without it, our bodies can absorb only 10 to 15% of the calcium we consume. It’s not just good for bone health, but also:
- Brain development
- Improving immunity
- Preventing chronic disease

To get your vitamin D, spend time in the sunshine or look for diet sources including milk, salmon, eggs and liver. For more information about Vitamin D, check out the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeon’s article here:
