TAKE A HIKE
by RYAN MARTINEZ
LOWER LEG INJURIES
Advertisement
A sprained ankle is one of the most common injuries a hiker can sustain. Ouch. Here’s what to do in this unfortunate situation, according to NOLS.
Echo Lakes Trail
Located In:South Lake Tahoe.
Distance: 5.3 miles out-andback.
Difficulty Level: Moderate,
heavily trafficked.
Know Before You Go: Expect
lots of people on weekends. Water taxis available for the return. Leashed, well-behaved dogs are allowed.
Fuel Up: Visit family-owned Frescana Mexican Bistro (frescanalaketahoe.com) in South Lake for “annoyingly fresh” burritos, bowls, tacos, and grass-fed beef burgers—plus an entire plantbased menu that boasts items like the Burrito Morado with smashed purple sweets, house-made cashew cheese sauce, avocado, black beans, spinach, huarache sauce, and pico.

Why We Love It: At the heart
of Desolation Wilderness, this hike is characterized by classic Sierra beauty: alpine lakes, epic mountains, and clean mountain air.
Trail Notes:Possibility for lots of mosquitos and high temperatures. Bring plenty of water and wear layers. For a longer hike, continue along the trail to Lake Aloha (approximately 12.5 miles round trip). Practice “Leave No Trace” ethics; if you pack it in, pack it out. For more information, visit alltrails.com/trail/ us/california/echolakes-trail.
Follow @stylemags to see our September IGTV episode of “Take a Hike.”
1.Evaluate the mechanism of injury.
Sudden or gradual? 2.Evaluate the signs and symptoms. 3.Move the ankle through its full range of motion to determine usability.
If a patient can bear weight on the joint and swelling isn’t severe, tape it.
Symptoms
1.Swelling/ discoloration. 2.Pain/tenderness. 3.Instability. 4.Deformation and acute pain (indicating potential fracture).
Treatment
If the usability test determines a patient can walk out, tape the ankle using the method taught in this month’s IGTV video. 1.Create 90° angle with ankle. 2.Set the “landmark” point. Add “stirrups,”
“tear drops,” and
“figure 8s.” 3.Evacuate.

Dr. Bogard has a long history in the health field. From an RN to a nurse anesthetist to an anesthesiologist, she spent almost 40 years in the operating room.

After experiencing the benefits she sought out the fellowship of regenerative and healthy aging through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. She opened an office in 2014 and continues to grow and expand her knowledge into this evolving field of medicine. Rather than prescribing medications and bandaging diseases she looks for the "root causes" and integrates each system in the body together. She also looks at environmental, genetic and lifestyle factors which result in "dis-ease". Her continued and expanding practice utilizes bioidentical hormone replacement, thyroid and adrenal optimization, GI healing, testing for heavy metals and IV nutrition and chelation, advanced lipid testing, and advanced blood sugar testing.

Ayouthful facial appearance and an attractive smile require normal facial bone and muscle that support the skin and frame the beautiful smile. Any bone loss as a result of shrinking bone due to osteoporosis, periodontal disease, or tooth loss will change the shape of your face. Any tooth loss that alters your ability to chew will alter the size and appearance of your facial muscles and further degenerate your facial form and appearance. The combination of these factors produces an aged facial appearance that tooth replacement alone cannot correct. Dr. Steiner and his company SteinerBio have devoted years of research focused on rebuilding facial bones and muscle tissue that is necessary for esthetic improvement. If you are concerned about improving your facial appearance or want to regenerate bone for implants that other practitioners have told you...”it can’t be done”, you deserve a consultation with Dr. Steiner. He does not use cadaver, animal or your own harvested bone, but uses the only FDA cleared bone graft material that grows your own bone back. Please contact Dr. Greg Steiner at Blue Oak Dental ~ Roseville or visit SteinerBio at SteinerBio.com Facial Solutions to Frame A Beautiful Smile
