Orthopedist to discuss sports injuries at Griffin Hospital in Derby

Klauser

DERBY - While being active and exercising are good for your health, they are not without their dangers.

Learn how to avoid injuries while playing sports and exercising as well as the signs and symptoms of possible damage to the body at 6:30 p.m. April 23 at Griffin Hospital. 

Griffin Hospital Orthopedist and Sports Medicine Specialist Dr. Jeffrey Klauser will present “Overuse Injuries,” a talk about sports injuries and how overexertion during exercise can damage ankles, knees and hips in the hospital’s Meditation and Learning Center, 130 Division St.

Klauser has a wealth of expertise honed under the guidance of world-renowned Dr. James Andrews at the Andrews Institute in Pensacola, Fla. 

A Shelton native and former member of the Shelton High football and basketball teams, Klauser understands athletes and is an expert in the latest procedures used in treating athletes of all ages. He utilizes minimally invasive, arthroscopic techniques which reduce post-operative recovery time and allow for an early return to work and play.

His surgical interests include arthroscopic and open treatment of shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and ankle injuries, as well as general orthopaedics.
The Joint Replacement Center at Griffin Hospital offers a focused approach to hip and knee replacement. 
Like all programs at Griffin Hospital, the Joint Replacement Center incorporates the Planetree philosophy of patient-centered care with a goal to involve and empower the patient in his or her treatment. 

The Joint Replacement Program at Griffin Hospital features a dedicated care team of physicians, nurses, patient care technicians, care managers, and physical therapists specializing in joint replacement; a comprehensive patient education program; a Care Partner Program to prepare your family and friends to be participants during the patient’s recovery, and a coordinated after-care and rehabilitation program.

“Overuse Injuries” is part of Griffin's Healthy U “Tuesday Talks,” a series of free wellness talks featuring Griffin Hospital medical experts and community partners providing trusted health information and answers to questions on a wide range of topics.
