About Me

When my son was diagnosed with autism as a young child, we were quickly referred to an orthopedist for an evaluation of his feet and ankles. Walking on his toes, as is common with those on the spectrum, led to poor development of his Achilles tendon. He had to have a thorough assessment and was then referred for orthopedic surgery to repair the damage. This was a whole new experience for us, and I figured we couldn't be the only ones. I created this site to share what we learned and hopefully help to guide other parents through the evaluation, surgery, and recovery. I'll also share other orthopedic information I've picked up along the way.

Consult An Orthopedist About Injuries You Sustained Following A Car Accident

When you have been injured in a car accident, you might not feel that your injuries are serious. The fact that you have injuries, such as back and neck pain though, is a warning sign that you should be seen by an orthopedist spine specialist and potentially undergo car accident spinal treatment. Your spine needs to be checked out by an orthopedist and especially so for possible not-so-obvious soft tissue injuries.
