Spring weather has landed in the Lowcountry, and more and more people are interested in getting outside and getting back to the activities they love: walking, biking, tennis, golf, jogging, pickleball, you name it.
While outdoor activities may be calling, achy knees or painful hips may present challenges for many in getting back out there this spring.
Joint pain is far from unusual, with over 27 million Americans suffering from osteoarthritis (the most common type of joint problem in older adults, causing stiffness, soreness and mobility issues).
Beaufort Memorial board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon Dr. Vandit Sardana will answer questions about osteoarthritis and more on Tuesday, April 8 at a free “Talk with the Doc: Solutions for Joint Pain” seminar in Port Royal.
Dr. Sardana sees patients with Beaufort Memorial Orthopaedic Specialists in both Port Royal and Okatie, specializing in joint replacement and preservation. He is also the chairman of the Department of Orthopedics at Beaufort Memorial Hospital.
“There’s a lot of information out there about knee and hip pain, joint replacement and the measures that can be taken to alleviate pain before considering surgery,” Dr. Sardana said. “As an orthopedic surgeon, the top health concern my patients have is joint pain that keeps them from maintaining an active lifestyle and doing the things they love.”
Dr. Sardana will lead the interactive discussion about options to address hip and knee pain, including non-surgical treatments and innovative robot-assisted procedures.
He will also cover common causes of joint pain, the benefits of early diagnosis, the latest minimally invasive surgical options and information about recovery from joint replacement.
*This event is free, but space is limited, and reservations are required. To register to attend, visit BeaufortMemorial.org/JointPain.
