Orange County Orthopedic Surgeon Teams Up with Wellness Expert to Help Patients
Dr. Ralph J. Venuto and fitness expert Ken Roycroft will work together to help patients maintain healthy lifestyles post injury and improve mobility for those with chronic orthopedic conditions.
- (1888PressRelease) October 24, 2012 - Newport Beach, California - Renowned, board-certified Orange County orthopedic surgeon Dr. Ralph J. Venuto (http://www.drvenuto.com) has joined forces with local health and wellness expert Ken Roycroft in an effort to increase patient awareness and commitment to overall fitness.
As an expert in sports medicine and orthopedics, Dr. Venuto understands the importance of exercise and good nutrition. "I care about my patients and their well-being," says Dr. Venuto. "And, as their doctor, I want them to have the information they need to enjoy life with less discomfort."
The coordination of effort is a holistic approach intended to incorporate realistic nutrition and exercise programs into a patient's regimen before, during and after treatment, taking into consideration their individual limitations. Dr. Venuto believes that will ensure they build strength within their core muscle groups, lessening the strain on important joints like knees and shoulders.
"If I can help get my patients moving and eating well, that will assist them in maintaining a healthy weight, feeling more energy as a result and being able to direct that energy into the activities they enjoy doing." Not only does Dr. Venuto preach a well-rounded and healthy lifestyle, he lives it, believing he has to represent a standard his patients can follow, motivating them to be fit and healthy as well. "There is much I can do as a doctor and surgeon. But by combining my efforts with Ken Roycroft, I can broaden the understanding my patients now have."
Dr. Venuto says he's concerned that many people he encounters, either directly through his Orange County orthopedics practice or in general, don't fully embrace the notion that exercise appropriate to one's abilities and proper eating habits are key components in helping to reduce knee and shoulder pain associated with a variety of orthopedic conditions.
"Fueling the body with the right nutrients and keeping it moving will go a long way toward maintaining a healthy lifestyle and preventing a need for treatment", says Roycroft. Coordinating his efforts with a wellness guru such as Roycroft, Dr. Venuto expects to add not only to the quality of his patients' lives but, hopefully, the quantity of enjoyable years ahead of them.
