Preventing orthopedic injuries at home

Going to a hospital has been a major concern during this pandemic period due to the layman's view that they would be subjected to a very high level of infection if they visit hospitals. This has hindered regular checkups and treatments that have been otherwise going on smoothly. Moreover, new injuries are being totally ignored due to the fear of visiting the hospital and most of the hospital visits are postponed till the injury is alleviated. Common orthopedic injuries sound very simple but actions like hauling, lifting, reaching and bending could place you at risk of unforeseen injuries. Some injuries can be cared for at home but for injuries that are giving serious symptoms should be immediately consulted with an experienced orthopedic practitioner like Dr. Manish Maheshwari, the top arthroscopy surgeon in Indore.

Common orthopedic injuries like twists, sprains, stress injury or some major kinds like ligament tear or joint locks can occur not only during sports activities but also during simple grabbing, lifting pulling and pushing actions during normal home chores.

Some of these common injuries can be easily avoided or prevented to some extend by taking some minimal precautions in our daily routines at home.  

Clearing walking areas at home could reduce our risk of tripping, turning sharply, overstretched stepping and falling. A cluttered floor can be hazardous and could easily cause a lot of injuries. Switching over to shoes or slippers with better grip, mats with good grip on the floor, taking frequent breaks while working from home on your laptops, stretching out regularly and maintaining good posture. These small precautions can surely help you prevent a lot of injuries that are most likely to happen during our chores at home. Boosting your bone and joint immunity and health by taking Vitamin D3 and B12 in prescribed proportions could also help you maintain stronger bone strength and prevent minor injuries due to weak joints. Along with the vitamins having some homemade remedies like milk with turmeric could be a good natural anti-inflammatory agent and consuming one teaspoon of ghee could be good for joint lubrication. A very important factor of keeping yourself from minor injuries that occur at home is by keeping yourself fit and healthy by eating proper food and proper sleep patterns.

People who are in a habit of exercising at home can also incur injuries that are of minor or major proportion while doing the routine. Torn ligaments, sprains, twists, locking of joints and other types of discomforts can arise due to exercising at home. These injuries also can be avoided if some necessary precautions can be practiced while doing exercises at home.
  • Warm-up and cool-down are a must at the starting and at the end of your exercise to maintain body heat and good blood flow in your body and heart.
  • Proper form and posture are utterly important while doing work out at home as there is no instructor or coach to check that and it could lead to a lot of minor or major injuries. It is very important to do your work out properly to avoid injuries
  • Proper footwear can surely minimize your risk of getting injured while doing exercise. Good shoes can surely protect your joints from jerks and shocks due to landing and ankles from twisting. 
  • Use of exercising mats can prevent you from slipping and other joint pains.
  • Prevent overexertion and stick to your limit while exercising. Pushing your limits suddenly could cause injuries. 
  • Give your body and muscles and joints good rest and nutrition to sustain the regime. 
Even after all these precautions if you have joint pains, niggles near joints or any other symptoms, it is of utmost importance to consult a competent medical authority like Dr. Manish Maheshwari the top orthopedic surgeon in Indore.
