Doctor to Discuss Causes, Treatments at Appleton Program
People who suffer from knee pain know how debilitating it can be. The painful stiffness, swelling and inflammation can quickly take the enjoyment out of doing everyday activities.
To learn more about the causes of ongoing knee pain and solutions for eliminating it, people can attend the free community presentation, “Stop the Knee Pain,” led by Kenneth Kleist, MD, Erica Kronke, MD, and Karen Ferris, PT, DPT, CSCS, of ThedaCare Orthopedic Care. They will discuss a variety of non-surgical and surgical treatment options to help sufferers become more physically active again. A question-and-answer session will follow the talk.
This free community program begins at 6:30 p.m. on Wed., April 17, at the Grand Meridian, 2621 N. Oneida St. in Appleton.
