Last week speaker Dr Craig Hogan

"Oh My Aching Bones"

Dr Craig Hogan, MD and Assistant Professor of Orthopedics at University of Colorado, spoke to us on the many treatments for knee and hip pain at the last meeting. "There are so many options before surgery," Dr. Hogan said. He pointed out that surgery should be the last option. He spoke in detail on treatments ranging from diet and exercise to drugs and supplements to visco injections. Joint replacement is considered the most successful type of surgery as relates to patient life improvement. HIp replacement rates No. 1 followed by No. 2 and knee No. 3.

A big thanks to Dr Hogan for stopping by and getting us the information we need on our aching bones!
