“Chronic knee, hip, and back pain is a persistent problem
for many people,” says Justin Hare, DO, also of Hamilton
Physician Group-Neurosurgery and Spine. “Coolief is a great
treatment option that can deliver long-lasting pain relief. It
has helped many people return to the activities they enjoy.”
After the procedure was explained, John decided to have it
performed on both of his knees. Dr. Josh Hare conducted
Coolief on John’s right knee and his brother, Dr. Justin Hare,
completed the procedure on his left knee.
“Less than a month later I was able to walk up and down
stairs, exercise, and do the things I enjoy,” says John.
Board-certied pain management physicians Dr. Josh Hare
and Dr. Justin Hare, and board-certied neurosurgeon
Dr. Sam Critides, also of Hamilton Physician Group-
Neurosurgery and Spine, provide a wide range of
solutions including minimally invasive non-surgical and
surgical options.

HOW HEAVY IS YOUR CHILD’S BACKPACK?
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that a child’s
backpack weigh no more than 20% of his or her body weight.
Backpacks that are too heavy can cause back and shoulder pain.
