EVENT RECAP “Living Well Events: Arthritis Pain” This week, the Arthritis Foundation, with a generous sponsorship from ALEVE, hosted "Living Well Events: Arthritis Pain", where Dr. Samuel Chukwuma PT, DPT, Cert. DN, CEAS and I enjoyed the privileged opportunity to serve as subject matter experts. The event provided attendees with a comprehensive overview of Arthritis, including types, causes, management, and much more! From pharmacological management to lifestyle modifications, the event emphasized a holistic approach to navigating this chronic condition. As an Addiction Medicine specialist, the opportunity to highlight patient-centered care was especially important given the ramifications of the ongoing opioid crisis. It was an honor to share the stage with Physical Therapist Dr. Samuel Chukwuma PT, DPT, Cert. DN, CEAS, whose insights on movement and therapy for arthritis pain were invaluable. In addition to providing high-level education, Dr. Chukwuma performed live-demonstrations of helpful exercises and stretches that individuals can do from the comfort of their home. Events like these are critical to empower our community with the knowledge and tools to manage their health effectively. A heartfelt thank you to Hunter Hills First Baptist Church for serving as the venue for this impactful event and our deepest gratitude goes out to Ashia Lee, Robyn Abree, and Yoshina Colbert-Bradford for their time invested in seeing this event come to fruition. Together, we're making strides toward better health and we look forward to supporting the next event! 🤲🏾✨
