There are few places in the country like Asheville. How many cities have mile-high mountains rising from the skyline? How many cities have an entire district dedicated to the arts? How many cities see stories by hundreds of thousands of acres of protected forests? For residents of Buncombe and Henderson counties, there is so much to see and do in our unique region. As winter turns to spring, people will get out to enjoy a variety of activities, including:

• Hiking some of the thousands of miles of trails in western North Carolina. 
• Biking in one of the best areas for mountain biking east of the Mississippi River. Whether it’s Bent Creek, Dupont State Forest, or Tsali Recreation Area, people come from all over to hit the trails in western North Carolina.
• Water sports in one of the many pristine rivers and creeks such as whitewater rafting, kayaking, tubing, and fly fishing. 
• Walking or cycling along the many miles of greenway trails throughout Asheville.
• Exploring downtown Asheville or one of the many other charming towns in western North Carolina. 

There is so much to do outdoors; however, if you are struggling with pain and discomfort, you may not be able to enjoy the area the way you would hope. If you have a nagging injury or discomfort that does not seem to go away, it might be time to talk to your doctor about orthopedic leg braces. Here is what you need to know about leg bracing in Asheville, NC.
