American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons -Joint Replacement

At some point in life, almost everyone will experience pain in a hip or knee, the two primary joints that bear the weight of our bodies. As we age, the cartilage that separates and cushions the bones in those joint wears thin, creating pain and loss of mobility.

If you have joint pain, we can help get you back to your life. Our physicians will find the source of your pain and determine the best way to relieve it, looking first at all options before recommending surgery or joint replacement. If joint replacement is the best option, you will be in the skilled hands of some of the nation's top orthopedic surgeons. Joint replacement is major surgery but it can greatly improve the quality of life. After surgery, we'll design a physical therapy program aimed at getting you back to the active, pain free life you deserve.
