Which is better: Hot tub or ice bath?

What sounds better after a long powder day: icing your knees or hopping in the hot tub? The majority of skiers and snowboarders would prefer the hot tub. And though this sounds like the perfect place to get warm, meet up with your buds and kick back and relax, the hot water could hinder your next day’s skiing or boarding performance.

Proactively Pursuing the Health of Our Community in 2012

The New Year has always been the perfect time to reflect and look ahead with a fresh perspective. As the primary wellness provider for the South Lake Tahoe area, I would like to address questions you may have about the future of healthcare and what Barton Health has planned for 2012 and beyond.

Barton continues Home Health and Hospice services at Lake Tahoe

Barton Health continues to provide quality home health and hospice services at Lake Tahoe. Earlier this year, Barton closed their Carson City and Carson Valley operations of Home Health & Hospice. Barton Health has provided home health and hospice services to the Carson Valley and its surrounding areas since 1987, but with declining reimbursements and increasing regulations on home health and hospice services it has become cost-prohibitive to cover such a large area.

Barton doctors mix love for skiing and medicine

By Joe Proudman
When you pull into the Tahoe Orthopedics and Sports Medicine office parking lot on Third Street, the giant sign just off the road tells you that you've come to the right place for any of your orthopedic treatments. But also on it is two logos, the same that grace the business cards of four doctors inside the offices. They are for the U.S. Ski and Snowboard teams, to which several members of the orthopedics office contribute.
