Beaufort Memorial to host free seminar on solving hip, knee pain

Special to The Island News

Beaufort Memorial is offering an educational joint pain seminar in Port Royal designed to help Lowcountry residents better understand the causes of their knee and hip pain – and explore treatment options that help them return to doing what they love.

The free seminar will be led by Dana Aiken, RN, total joint and spine coordinator at Beaufort Memorial, who will discuss treatments and services that can help you regain mobility and get back into action.

The seminar will dig into the causes of pain in your hips and knees, as well as treatments ranging from conservative to surgical, including exercises, medications, injections, physical therapy and joint replacement.

This hour-long class, “Solving Hip and Knee Pain,” will be held from 2 to 3 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 29, at the Port Royal Medical Pavilion classroom at 1680 Ribaut Road and will include a question-and-answer portion as well.

“Joint pain doesn’t have to limit your life,” said Aiken. “This seminar will help participants understand what’s at the root of their hip and knee pain and explore the wide range of comprehensive treatments available, from lifestyle changes to cutting-edge surgical techniques.”

While the seminar is free, space is limited and registration is required. To learn more or to reserve your spot at the Jan. 29 seminar, visit BeaufortMemorial.org/SolvingJointPain.
