Whether you swim, shoot hoops or swing a bat, shoulder pain can affect any athlete at any age. There’s no need to carry the pain around like a chip on your shoulder. Let the experts at St. Anthony’s help you determine how to get relief at the free lecture, Shoulder Treatment for the Active Athlete, at noon Wednesday, Sept. 14 in the auditorium at St. Anthony’s Hospital, 1200 Seventh Ave. N., St. Petersburg.
Michael J. Smith, MD, an orthopaedic surgeon, will discuss the causes of shoulder pain and the treatment options that can help athletes get back to the activities they enjoy.
