Dr. Antonio Paz, an interventional pain management specialist, and Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a joint replacement surgeon, will discuss surgical and non-surgical options for treating painful conditions of the hip, knee, and spine at the Redding Senior Center on December 14, 2017, at 12:00 pm.
Dr. Paz will cover the latest interventional pain management techniques, which do not involve the use of addictive opioid medications. He will discuss minimally invasive procedures that treat chronic pain, and explain why the more traditional methods of controlling pain have been so unsuccessful.
