Wildfire smoke can affect your health, even if the fire is far away.

When air quality is poor:
• Limit time outdoors.
• Avoid strenuous outdoor activities and exercise.
• Wear a well-fitted N95 respirator if you must be outside for extended periods.
• Keep windows and doors closed when possible.
• Drink plenty of water and watch for symptoms like coughing, wheezing or shortness of breath.
• Check the Air Quality Index (AQI) and sign up for local air quality alerts.

Children, older adults, pregnant people, and those with heart or lung conditions are especially vulnerable to wildfire smoke.

Now offering PRP therapy at BMC Orthopedics and Podiatry.

If joint pain, tendon injuries, or chronic musculoskeletal pain have kept you from doing what you love, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy may be a non-surgical treatment option worth exploring.

PRP uses your body’s own healing properties to help support tissue repair and is commonly used for conditions such as:
✔ Knee osteoarthritis
✔ Tennis elbow
✔ Plantar fasciitis
✔ Chronic tendon injuries
✔ Certain sports medicine injuries

Schedule an evaluation to find out if PRP is right for you. Please note that PRP is a self-pay treatment and is not typically covered by insurance.
