    April 12, 2020 / No Comments

    Believe it or not, April is National Foot Health Awareness Month, so what better time to cover keeping your feet pain-free than now? Frankly, every day should be foot health awareness day, because let’s face it…these dogs are always hurting us. They get injured. They’re deformed from the time we’re born. We wear the wrong shoes most of our lives, and they bear the weight of our entire body. Here’s how to help keep them pain-free and give them a little love while you’re at it. Rest: If your feet are hurting, get off them for a little while. Elevate your legs and feet, especially if they’re swollen. Massage your…

  • STAYING PAIN-FREE DURING COVID-19: INJURY PREVENTION

    April 6, 2020 / No Comments

    I chose this subject next, rather than hips or feet, because as of this moment, the thing that might put you in the ER, is an injury. Even though I’m still seeing folks outside participating in sports and hazardous activities…they are willingly subjecting themselves to danger in every way. I’d rather focus on those of you who might injure yourselves accidentally. So, to get to the meat…ways to prevent injuries during Covid-19. Highlighted words are links to previous posts on www.drbarbarabergin.com. Watch where you’re going! Assess your environment for uneven surfaces and dangerous obstacles. Hold the handrails on stairs. Watch every stair until you reach the bottom. Turn lights on…

  • STAYING PAIN-FREE DURING COVID-19: KNEES

    April 1, 2020 / No Comments

    Many of you are experiencing chronic and acute pain in your knees right now. Hopefully, not as many of you are out injuring yourselves. But if you are…go home. That is one way to prevent or decrease knee pain. Here are some others: Limit sports activities, such as soccer, football, basketball and volleyball right now. These are activities which can cause injury to the knee, or exacerbate old injuries and chronic conditions. This is especially important right now, not only because you shouldn’t be socializing, but also, if you injured yourself, you couldn’t have elective surgery, and the ER is not a good place to be. Surgery would be delayed,…
