The JRMC U: Care for Joint and Arthritis Pain is set for 11 a.m., Thursday, Dec. 1. The event will help people understand how to keep the musculoskeletal system as healthy as possible, said Orthopedic Nurse Practitioner Crystal Krapp.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n She says, \u201cWe hope to help people understand what we do in orthopedics, who we are and what they can do to manage their care at home. “If home remedies don\u2019t work, we can help people understand when it is time to see the doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n JRMC Orthopedics specializes in diagnosing and treating bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves. The specialty includes procedures such as total joint replacements of the hip, knee and shoulder, knee arthroscopy and fracture repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Krapp is a member of the comprehensive team, which includes Orthopedic Surgeons Dr. Michael T.
