Ask the Ingalls Specialist About Your Knee Pain

Knee problems can affect anyone, at any age. From household chores to sports, the pain and discomfort that occur as a result of these activities can affect all aspects of our lives. If you are experiencing chronic pain in your knee, chances are you stopped doing a lot of the things you enjoy. There’s no need to suffer any longer.

Have lunch with Dr. David Smith and ask the orthopedic specialist questions about your knee problems. Dr. Smith will talk with you about what you can do to start living life without pain.

Dr. Smith is an orthopedic surgeon on staff at the Advanced Orthopedic Institute at Ingalls who has special expertise in treating knee, hip and shoulder pain and improving mobility with a focus on using the least invasive treatments. The lunch discussion will be held at noon on Wednesday, April 23, at the Ingalls Family Care Center in Flossmoor.
