SCHNECK FOUNDATION INVITES COMMUNITY TO SOLVE THEIR SHOULDER, HIP, AND KNEE PAIN!
April 2, 2012

Schneck Foundation’s Community Relations Committee is hosting All Right Now: Solving Shoulder, Hip, and Knee Pain, an event to educate the community on the benefits of joint surgery. Problems affecting the major joints of the body like the shoulders, hips, and knees can cause persistent pain, interfere with daily living and restful sleep, and develop into more serious problems which can become difficult and complicated to treat. The community is invited to learn about how early, correct diagnosis and surgical treatment can be the answer to solving their painful problems.

“Surgery can be a 'now' solution for shoulder, hip and knee pain and can get you back on your feet fast – allowing for a more active, healthy life,” says featured speaker for the evening Dr. Kris Williams, Schneck Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. “There is still a belief that surgery is a last-resort option and reserved only for elderly people: this is simply not the case. Medical advances have helped surgery to be the answer for people of all ages who are needlessly suffering from a range of problems which surgery can repair quickly and easily. We are seeing less complications and faster recovery time than ever before – with many procedures performed in a same-day outpatient surgery setting. Surgery can have you back on your feet and feeling all right NOW!”

All Right Now: Solving Shoulder, Hip, and Knee Pain will be held on Tuesday, April 24th at 6:00 p.m. in the Schneck Auditorium, just inside the Visitor’s Entrance at Schneck Medical Center, Seymour. Light snacks will be provided.
