Register Now for Free Event, Light Meal
Do not let joint pain slow you down or keep you from the activities you love. RiverView Health has solutions for your pain, from physical therapy to joint replacement.
Attend RiverView's free Dec. 3 Joint Pain Seminar to learn more about joint pain, conservative approaches to treatment, and when it may be time to consider a joint replacement.
The following providers will share information on their specialties:
- Tony Kuchan, PT, DPT: A physical therapist in Crookston, he focuses on addressing pain and restoring movement for his patients through tailored physical therapy.
- Hannah Reski, PA-C: An orthopedic physician assistant, Reski works with RiverView surgeons in Crookston, East Grand Forks, and Thief River Falls, including in the operating room. She handles new patient consultations, provides post-operative care, and performs most of RiverView's office casting and splinting.
- Brennen Smith, DO: Seeing patients in Crookston, East Grand Forks, and Thief River Falls, Dr. Smith offers a variety of general procedures and trauma care, including the scope, repair, and replacement of upper extremities, hips, and knees. Earlier this year, he launched a Mako Robotic-Arm Joint Replacement Program for adults with mid-to-late-stage knee or hip osteoarthritis. He will share the benefits of this minimally invasive surgical approach.
Regardless of which services best suit a patient's needs, Dr. Smith emphasizes the importance of living a life with less pain. "Patients often say, 'I wish I would have done this sooner.' Our goal is to reduce pain for our patients and provide a good range of motion so they can get back to doing what they used to do. Ultimately, this will allow them to achieve a healthier, more active lifestyle."
The seminar will start at 6 PM and include a complimentary light meal in the Conference Rooms at RiverView Health, 323 South Minnesota Street. Pre-registration is required; you can register by calling 281-9440 or online here.
