Event"

and prevention treatment. The St. John's Health Ministry held a Non-surgical Knee Arthritis event on Sunday, 10/7 after
mass to educate our parish on non-invasive surgery methods and prevention treatment. We would like to extend a special thank
you to Dr Jacob Sadigh from New York Diagnostic center - Kew Gardens, for his comprehensive presentation on the definition,
signs and symptoms, cause and treatment of osteoarthritis and other health related issues. It has been estimated that 12%
of Americans aged >25 years have clinical signs and symptoms of OA. Further studies have shown 80% of people older than
75 have symptoms of OA, and cadaveric studies have shown universal signs of arthritis in patients 65 and older. Symptoms of
osteoarthritis include joint pain with activity, night pain, morning stiffness, limited motion, joint inflammation, crepitus
or noise from the knee, and deformity. Nonsurgical Treatment Options: Exercise and Weight Loss, Bracing, Medications, Nutritional
Supplements, and much more! Thanks to all who attended and special thanks to the Health Ministry for putting on this
event.
