Inflamed SI Joint

Here at ProOrtho we know sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction needs to be addressed with clear awareness, expertise, and fresh thinking.

Food containing vitamin C for healthy bones

Scurvy was the scourge of sailors for thousands of years, specifically between the 16th and 18th centuries. Scurvy is a dietary deficiency caused by a lack of vitamin C.

Happy senior couple in raincoats during rainy day in nature.

It’s happening. We’ve been ignoring it for months and just hoping for the best. But as we all know, hope is not a plan, especially when it comes to staying active when the weather outside is more than frightful. That’s right. The seasons are CHANGING.

Seattle Met Top Docs 2022

[Not pictured above: Dr Stone, Dr Antoine, Dr Wen and Dr Nelson] What does “the best” really mean? We humans make a dizzying amount of decisions every day, and the desire for “the best” outcome governs how we make each choice. Thus, if we must commute, we use Waze or Google Maps to determine the …

Playing Pickle Ball

Ah yes. Pickleball, one of the most popular sporting activities in the country. Think tennis played with a whiffle ball and small wooden paddle across a lower net.

Summer outdoor activities

Summer in the Pacific Northwest poses a conundrum in that most of us can’t spend every waking minute outside doing stuff, despite the fact we know the average temperature of 75˚F is all too fleeting and thus we really, really want to maximize every last second of it.

Healing with Orthobiologics

There’s a theory out there that seeks to explain how, why, and at what rate new technologies (a.k.a. new ideas) spread.

Minimally invasive surgery saves time and money

How we value time creates an interesting conundrum. It’s the most valuable commodity we have – we’re all allocated the same number of hours any given day, we can’t fabricate more, and once they’re gone, there’s nothing we can do to get them back — yet (here comes the paradox!) … we insist on pricing …

Running Might Be the Right Rx for Your Orthopedic Well-Being

We’re at that sweet spot of spring where the rain is less bone-chilling and frequent (oh, and no longer driving right into our face by the wind). It’s also that unique time of year where an afternoon high of 62-degrees feels down-right balmy, if not hot, and thus inspires our rugged populace to run, hike, …
