Free Joint Pain Seminar

Achy knees or hips slowing you down? You’re not alone. It’s estimated that more than 30 million Americans suffer from osteoarthritis, the most common type of joint problem in older adults. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, and a loss of ability.

“Many people start noticing joint pain in their 40s, but it’s not necessarily enough to slow them down,” said Beaufort Memorial Physical Therapist and Orthopaedic Care Coordinator Andrea Sadler. “But by the time they reach their 50s and 60s, the pain is often bad enough to seek medical attention.”

If joint pain is keeping you from doing the things you enjoy, join Sadler for a free joint pain class later this month to learn about available solutions. The hour-long class, “Solving Hip and Knee Pain,” will be held at

1 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 24 at the Beaufort Memorial Okatie Medical Pavilion, located at 122 Okatie Center Boulevard North.

Sadler will discuss symptoms of joint-related problems and will provide information about treatments to relieve or resolve pain that can be personalized for specific needs, including in-home exercises, medical management and physical therapy. She will also explain available surgical options, including robot-assisted joint replacement and outpatient surgery, as well as what can be expected in terms of recovery. There will also be an opportunity for questions and answers. The seminar is free, but registration is required as space is limited.
