Mark Twain Medical Center Orthopaedics Provides Pain Relief FREE informational event

Tuesday, April 8th from 5 to 7 p.m. at CAMPS Restaurant in Angels Camp
SAN ANDREAS, CA – April 2, 2014- Joint pain can be caused by a variety of factors. Recent injuries (or old ones that never healed properly) are often to blame. For some, wear is simply a matter of age and genetic disposition. Whatever the cause, diagnosis by a qualified doctor is the first step to resolving the pain and regaining an active lifestyle. Once diagnosed, what can be done about it?
Historically, long recovery times associated with invasive surgeries of the past compelled many to forgo treatment and endure their pain even as it worsened. But few disciplines evolve as quickly as modern medicine. In this day and age, many surgical remedies can be surprisingly painless and even lead to faster recoveries. Patients of the Orthopaedic department at Mark Twain Medical Center are often amazed at just how soon they are able to return to their favorite activities.
