Is shoulder pain keeping you “off the green”? Whether your preferred green is the golf course, tennis court or garden, shoulder pain can keep you from the activities you enjoy.

If you’re suffering from the effects of an injury — or just general shoulder discomfort — you’ll want to join Beaufort Memorial board-certified orthopaedic surgeon Leland Stoddard, MD, and physical therapists Steve Steve Giammona and Andrea Sadler for a free seminar on Wednesday, April 29, at 5 p.m. at the Lakehouse in Sun City, where they will discuss the best ways to alleviate shoulder pain.

The seminar will also address: common causes of shoulder pain; types of shoulder injuries; surgical and nonsurgical treatment options, from basic exercises and stretching to joint replacement; adapting your activities for better results.

There will be a reception prior to the seminar at 4:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, both Sun City residents and non-residents, but reservations are required as space is limited. Visit www.BeaufortMemorial.org for information or call 843-522-5585 to register.
