Providence Joint Center & Joint Replacement Surgery

Knee replacement, should replacement and hip replacement surgery can restore mobility and relieve pain, enabling you to resume the activities you love and improve your quality of life.

Your primary physician and orthopedic surgeon will help you assess whether the condition of your knee, hip, or shoulder warrants joint replacement surgery. At Providence, we offer a wide array of surgical options for reconstruction of the hip, knees and shoulders. Our highly skilled physicians and staff are trained with the latest procedures and techniques to ensure a recovery that helps return you to an active, more enjoyable lifestyle.

The bad news is 8 out of 10 people will have back problems at some point in their lives.

If you are experiencing back or neck pain, work with your Primary Care Physician to help you accurately discover the source of your pain. The most appropriate treatment options range from medication to physical therapy to pain management therapy. Should your particular back or neck problem require a surgical solution, you will be referred to an orthopaedic surgeon or a neurosurgeon.
