Suffering from joint pain in the knees and hips can be a daily occurrence for many people. As new treatment options emerge, it can be challenging to choose the right solution.

To help individuals make informed decisions, Northwest Community Healthcare is hosting a free educational seminar about joint pain and joint replacement options.

NCH’s joint replacement seminar is from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 29, in the NCH auditorium, 800 W. Central Road, in Arlington Heights. Accessible parking is available in the Visitor Garage at Entrance No. 4 on the east side of the hospital.

Signs will direct visitors to the seminar.

Orthopedic surgeon Richard Mannion, MD, and experts in nursing will share information on the latest treatments and therapies for hip and knee pain, including joint replacement.

Attendees also will learn about NCH’s Fast Track program, which results in earlier hospital discharge, an accelerated recovery plan and a quicker return to pain-free living. A question-and-answer session will follow the seminar.

Registration is required by calling HealthConnection at (847) 618-4968 or visiting www.nch.org/jointpain.
