Former University of Texas, Olympic swimmer Tori Smith returns to pool after back surgery 08/10/2024

Tori Smith, a 1984 Olympian and six-time NCAA champion at The University of Texas at Austin, could barely walk after years of pain from scoliosis. To preserve Tori’s mobility and help her continue swimming for years to come, Dr. Craig Kuhns, an orthopedic surgeon at St. David's Medical Center, used advanced image guidance technology to perform minimally invasive surgery to straighten Tori’s spine, remove bulging discs and insert spacers to protect her spine from decompressing. She was able to walk the night of her surgery and felt instant relief. Six-months after her life-changing surgery, Tori returned to the pool.

Today, Tori continues to pursue her love of swimming. In honor of the 2024 Summer Olympics, Tori and the members of her 1984 Olympic team reunited to celebrate their 40th anniversary and to cheer on Team U.S.A.

The Olympics have inspired many of us to be more active. If you could compete in the Olympics, what sport would you pick?

Story:

Former University of Texas, Olympic swimmer Tori Smith returns to pool after back surgery Less invasive surgery kept Tori Smith mobile enough to swim, while correcting damage from scoliosis.

Let's talk about something many new parents experience but may not always discuss openly: the baby blues.

Baby blues are feelings of sadness, anxiety or overwhelm that can happen after giving birth. They're incredibly common, affecting up to 80% of new parents, according to March of Dimes. They usually start a few days after childbirth and last up to two weeks. Explore ways to help manage baby blues. Remember, taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your little one.

Generally, baby blues go away without medical treatment. But, if feelings persist or worsen, don't hesitate to seek support. You can call or text the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1.833.852.6262. It's free, confidential and available 24/7.
