Lights and decorations are a way for people to show their holiday spirit and bring some light into the long dark days of winter. But as people decorate their homes, there is also a spike in shoulder injuries. Idaho Matter talks to an orthopedic surgeon about how to avoid a trip to his office this holiday season (hint: make sure your ladder is stable and tall enough to reach your roof while decorating).
