“ARTHRITIS EXPERTS TO PRESENT NEW BREAKTHROUGHS

AT 2008 ARTHRITIS SYMPOSIUM”

The Arthritis Research Institute will present the third annual Arthritis Symposium at scenic Hollow Creek Golf Club on Thursday, May 15, 2008.  The symposium will feature nationally recognized speakers in the field of arthritis. Topics will include such diverse topics as:

• Mistakes most physicians make in treating arthritis!
• Considering surgical joint replacement?  Three key questions to ask so you don’t make a deadly mistake!
• Little-known but fail-safe exercises for protecting your bones and joints!
• How to cut your risk of knee pain from osteoarthritis by a whopping 50 percent!
• Hidden arthritis remedies your doctor doesn’t know about!
• Chronic sexual fatigue… could it be fibromyalgia?

And more…

Dr. Nathan Wei explains, “This is a great opportunity to bring together a group of speakers who can offer information and inspiration to anyone who has arthritis…and this is especially appropriate since May is Arthritis month.”  Dr. Wei adds, “This symposium was attended by 200 participants last year.  This year looks even more promising as we provide up-to-date information on rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and osteoporosis.”

Speakers this year include: Daniel G. Malone MD, Associate Professor of Medicine, Section of Rheumatology, Department of Medicine, School of Medicine at the University of Wisconsin; Jack Klippel, MD, FACP, FACR, President and CEO of the Arthritis Foundation; Marc Hungerford, MD, Chief of Orthopaedics at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland; Paul Rochmis, MD, Medical Director of the Bone Densitometry Center of Fairfax
