DAPHNE, Ala.  (April 4, 2016) –  Dr. John L. Todd, Medical Director for The Shoulder Center (TSC) and orthopaedic surgeon, will discuss the common causes and solutions for aching shoulders at the “Oh My Aching Shoulder: Understanding Common Causes and Solutions” event on April 19 at 6:30 p.m. at Baldwin Bone and Joint (BB&J) in Daphne. This community education seminar is developed especially for those seeking solutions to issues of the shoulder. The shoulder is the one of the most mobile and problematic joints of the body, and common symptoms of shoulder problems include pain, weakness and loss of motion that can interfere with activities of daily living, work and recreation. Todd, shoulder specialist, will discuss common causes for this and what options are available at TSC including non-operative and operative care. The Shoulder Center, the latest in specialty care to be offered by Baldwin Bone & Joint, takes a comprehensive approach to the care of shoulder conditions. Dr. John Todd and the TSC staff are trained and equipped to see patients with shoulder problems through every step of the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery process. The primary goal of TSC is to return each patient back to his or her lifestyle, and the activity level he or she enjoyed before, as quickly as possible.
