Have you ever been at a conference where you heard an intriguing technique or tip from a fellow oral and maxillofacial surgeon or dentist that you then implemented effectively in your practice? We know we have. Welcome to the Every Day Oral Surgery podcast, where we hope to share some techniques and personal experiences that could be beneficial to your surgical or dental practice. In this episode, host, Dr. Grant Stucki, introduces himself, where we learn more about his professional and personal life. He also shares the story of how a lower back injury from playing basketball in college plagued him for years after school and well into his practice. We hear how changing sides has helped alleviate his pain. While this may seem like a small tweak, it is not easy because not only will you be slowed down, but you will have to work on strengthening your weaker hand. Oral surgery and dentistry, in general, can be particularly hard on the lower back, so even if you are not in pain yet, it is well worth taking preventative measures to ensure you remain pain-free. We look forward to many more conversations, so be sure to tune in for the start of this exciting journey!
