Orthopedic care

Arthritis can make even the simplest movements challenging. Our team of doctors, nurses and therapists work together to help you regain mobility and alleviate pain. Our services include:

• Arthritis education, resources and support
• Medications and pain management therapies
• Orthopedic surgery, including joint replacement
• Physical and occupational therapies

If conservative treatment options aren't effective at addressing your condition, your doctor may recommend orthopedic surgery. We use minimally invasive techniques, whenever possible, to perform the following:

• Foot and ankle surgery
• Hand and wrist surgery
• Hip resurfacing
• Reconstructive surgery
• Shoulder surgery
• Total joint replacement of the hip, knee and shoulder

Whether you are a professional athlete or a recreational competitor, an injury can prevent you from enjoying your sport and can even make everyday activities challenging.

Our doctors collaborate with rehabilitation specialists to plan the most effective treatment for you. Our goal is to help you regain your mobility, strength and fitness.

If you are experiencing joint pain, you can count on our team to be there for you. Our orthopedic doctors, surgeons and physical therapists treat chronic joint pain caused by injury, arthritis and other degenerative joint diseases.

We are proud to offer comprehensive joint replacement options, including minimally invasive surgery.

The goal of joint replacement surgery is to help relieve pain and restore function and movement to the affected joint. Whether total or partial joint replacement is right for you, you can be confident that our orthopedic team will provide excellent care.

We offer:

• Anterior and traditional total hip replacement: removes the damaged bones and cartilage and replaces them with prosthetic implants
• Partial hip replacement: removes and replaces the ball (femoral head) of the hip joint without replacing the socket
• Minimally-invasive total knee replacement: uses robotic surgery techniques to resurface the knee by capping the ends of the bones that form the knee joint and the kneecap
• Partial knee replacement: used as an alternative to total knee replacement; uses robotic surgery techniques to replace only the damaged part of the knee with a prosthesis
• Shoulder replacement: replaces the damaged areas of the shoulder's ball-and-socket joint with metal or plastic prosthetic implants

If you undergo joint replacement surgery, physical therapy and rehabilitation play an important role in your recovery. Our physical therapy team will work with you to help you regain mobility and get you back to the activities you love.

You may be a candidate for joint replacement surgery if:

• The pain in your joint is present even when resting, or interferes with sleep.
• You have moderate to severe arthritis in your joint, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis or post-traumatic arthritis.
• You have stiffness or reduced range of motion during normal activities.
• You have tried nonsurgical treatments, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, steroid injections or physical therapy, but haven't found relief
• Joint pain affecting activities of daily living

Our orthopedic program navigator, who holds over 20 years of experience, will work with you and your family through your orthopedic surgery to be sure you are progressing and to ensure satisfaction throughout the entire care experience. They are also able to answer any questions regarding the pre and post-operative process, including therapy sessions, meals, and discharge planning.

After surgery, physical therapy and rehabilitation can play an important role in your recovery. We will work with you to assess your needs and create a rehabilitation plan that helps you meet your goals. Our nurses work closely with physical and occupational therapists on the unit and will have you up and moving as soon as possible.

We may also recommend physical therapy as a nonsurgical treatment approach to help alleviate back pain. At our outpatient rehabilitation clinic, our team of the orthopedic nurses and physical therapists utilize a multi-modal approach when it comes to treatment.
