Join orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Edward Hellman with Georgia Sports Medicine as he discusses "Back Pain: When Is It Time for Surgery?" on Monday, July 22, 2019, 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm, at the Summer Palace in Sylvester.

"There may come a time when your back pain reduces the quality of your life, and conservative measures no longer provide pain relief," said Kristy Walters, Community Relations Coordinator with Tift Regional Medical Center. "If this is your situation, it may be time to consider surgery. Dr. Hellman is a board-certified orthopedic spine specialist who will provide an informative presentation on various medical and surgical options. Education will be provided about what to expect in the hospital and at home if surgery is required. Dr. Hellman will also take questions from the audience."

This seminar is sponsored by the Tift Regional Joint Replacement and Spine Care Center. This event includes a complimentary meal. Seating is limited and registration is required. Register in the Calendar of Events section or call 229-353-6316. The Summer Palace is located in Sylvester at 305 W. Kelly Street.
