Jeff Deminski Knows How Pain Sneaks Up On You. That’s Why He Suggests OrthoNJ.

I moved a few months ago, and my commute doubled.

An extra hour a day sitting in traffic can remind you that your knees are getting older. So can freezing temperatures. I can only imagine what will happen when a good winter storm makes my commute even longer, and I'm dealing with both excessive sitting and frigid weather.

But worried? Never.

Because I know if it kept up, OrthoNJ could take care of me. They have more than 30 locations throughout New Jersey, so I won't need to log even longer drives to feel better. Plus, they have specialists in knees, hips, spine, shoulder, hand/wrist, foot/ankle, sports medicine, total joint care, and physical and occupational therapy, so there's no need to live with the pain from that "normal wear and tear" we put our bodies through.

It could be slipping on ice, a back that is still sore from shoveling snow, a shoulder that didn't appreciate how you hauled the holiday decorations back into storage, or a weekend project that just didn't go as planned. It's very human to write off that lingering pain as slow healing due to age or just a reality of this season, but it doesn't have to be this way.

OrthoNJ is the state's largest independent orthopedic practice, and every practitioner believes in putting patients first. They really take the time to explain all the options in ways their patients can understand — they even explained to me how many options I would have had with them for that slipped disc I dealt with years ago, before I was aware of them. Now, they are the only ones I would see if I had a problem.

Life and little pains have a way of sneaking up on you, and it will be spring before you know it. Don't let soreness, stiffness, or old injuries hold you back from gardening, walking the dog, beach getaways ... whatever you do when the sun shines, and the temperatures climb.
