ORRVILLE, Ohio (March 17, 2014) – Aultman Orrville Hospital will host two upcoming health talks in April, as part of a monthly education speaker series.

On April 16, “Lumbar Stenosis Facts” will be presented by Phillip Immesoete, M.D. of Aultman Medical Group. Symptoms of lumbar stenosis include dull or aching back pain that spreads to the legs; numbness in the legs, calves or buttocks; weakness or loss of balance; and decreased endurance in physical activities. If you or a loved one is dealing with lumbar stenosis, join us to find out the facts. Dr. Immesoete’s talk will take place from 6-7 p.m. in the Aultman Orrville Community Room.

On April 24, Michael Knapic, D.O., of Wooster Orthopedic & Sports Medicine, will present “Anterior Hip Replacement and Arthritis of the Hip.” When debilitating pain and stiffness in your hip limits your daily activities, you may need a total hip replacement. Dr. Knapic will discuss the similarities and differences between conventional hip replacement and the anterior approach. He will also talk about arthritis of the hip. Join us from 6-7 p.m. in the Aultman Orrville Community Room to learn more.
