Presence Saint Joes' "Generations" Program to Cover Alternative Options and Treatments for Joint Pain

Does hip, knee or joint pain prevent you from enjoying the activities you love the most? If so, you’re not alone.

Nearly 47 million people in the U.S. have some form of arthritis or chronic joint pain. Unfortunately, pain presents a serious health problem because it can affect every aspect of a person’s life. And contrary to what you may think, creaking knees and aching joints are necessarily normal as you age.

If you or someone you know suffers joint pain, join Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center for a special program Wednesday, Sept. 24, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., at the Presence Healing Arts Pavilion in New Lenox. Family medicine specialist Omer Ansari, M.D., will discuss alternative options and treatments for joint pain management.

This free presentation is the first in the Medical Center’s new Generations series, an expansion of its former Red Hot Mamas series that broadens the scope of topics, health concerns and healthy lifestyle issues for people of all generations – from infants to seniors.

For more information or to register for the Sept. 24 program, call 877.737.4636.

The Presence Healing Arts Pavilion is located at 410 East Lincoln Highway in New Lenox.
