The storm is coming and ice will stick around making it slick to walk outside! ❄️ Slips and falls send many people to the ED after winter weather.

In this video, Dr. Rebecca Wadlinger from @DukeOrtho shows how to walk safely when it’s slick. 👣

Duke experts, including Dr. Steve Z. George and Dr. Francis Keefe, contributed to a landmark NIH‑funded clinical trial on low back pain. The results highlight the value of clinician‑supported self‑management in improving long‑term patient outcomes. https://t.co/Otpsw0Mfsw.

New @DukeOrtho study finds adults with lower socioeconomic status are twice as likely to develop high-impact chronic pain—pain that limits daily activities most days. Addressing these disparities is critical for health equity.
