Wellness Wednesday Spotlight: A Discussion on Joint Pain & Injuries
Presented by Physicians from Advanced Orthopedics
Wednesday, April 29 • 12:00–1:00 PM • ASHLAND FAMILY YMCA
Joint pain can affect anyone—athletes, active adults, weekend gardeners, and those simply moving through the routines of daily life. Whether it’s a lingering shoulder ache, persistent hip discomfort, or a hand injury that keeps impacting your day-to-day activities, understanding what’s happening in your body can make all the difference.
On April 29th, our Wellness Wednesday series brings you an exceptional opportunity to learn directly from three physicians from Advanced Orthopedics, right here at the Ashland Family YMCA. Each specialist will share clear, practical insights into some of the most common joint issues people face—and what you can do to support long-term mobility and comfort.
What You’ll Learn
During this one-hour session, you’ll receive easy-to-understand guidance from experts who work every day to help people move better and feel better. Topics include:
• Common Shoulder Issues
Dr. Colley will discuss the most frequent causes of shoulder pain, from overuse injuries to structural concerns. You’ll gain insight into symptoms, treatment paths, and when it’s time to seek care.
• Total Hip Replacement
Dr. Jones will offer a clear explanation of when hip replacement becomes necessary, what the procedure entails, and what recovery typically looks like. If you or a loved one has wondered about this topic, this is a wonderful chance to learn in a supportive setting.
• Common Hand Injuries
Dr. Zhang will share why hand injuries are so common, how they happen, and what treatment options can restore function and reduce pain.
