"Maximizing Bone Strength: Top Tips for Lifelong Joint Health and Osteoporosis Prevention"
Orthopedic surgeons advise against five key behaviors to maintain bone and muscle health: 1) Don't ignore pain during activities, as it may indicate injury. 2) Avoid lifting weights without proper form to prevent strains and injuries. 3) Don't stick to just one type of exercise; cross-training can prevent overuse injuries. 4) Don't skip physical therapy after surgery, as it's essential for recovery. 5) Don't overlook appointments with specialists, especially if non-operative management fails to improve symptoms. These practices can help prevent long-term damage and maintain overall musculoskeletal health.
