Jamieson's Joints Get Their Jingle On

The holiday season is a time of giving, and for orthopedic surgeon Robert Jamieson, D.O., with Roseville Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine in Roseville, this giving season means tying jingle bells on his running shoes, donning some colorful holiday garb, and participating in the Jingle Bell Run, a 5K holiday-themed walk/run to raise funds for the Arthritis Foundation. Dr. Jamieson is participating in this holiday walk/run with his team, Jamieson’s Joints, formed with family, friends and co-workers.

Dr. Jamieson, who performs joint replacement among a variety of other orthopedic procedures, says arthritis, the nation’s number one source of disability, is also the leading cause for joint replacement. His patients seek joint replacement for relief from severe chronic joint pain that limits their abilities to perform active daily living activities. “I like helping my patients get better in all ways,” he says, “Joint replacement definitely helps but fund raising helps as well, providing for exciting new scientific research that may one day eradicate this terrible disease.”

The Jingle Bell Run will be held on Saturday, Dec. 10, at 8:30 a.m., at Crocker Park, in Sacramento. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m., and Reindeer Games, a 1K walk for families, begins at 8:15. This walk provides family activities along the way, including face painting, cookie decorating, a Santa photobooth and more. The Jingle Bell Run, an adult timed run, begins at 8:30 a.m. Awards will be given at 9:15 a.m.
