Knee BraceJoint Replacement

A Quality of Life Consideration

Chronic hip, knee or shoulder pain can change your lifestyle so that the golf game you love, after-dinner dancing, or walk around the block is no longer enjoyable. Painful and limited movement may interfere with your daily work, activities and sleep. Joint replacement can restore mobility and relieve pain, enabling you to resume those activities and improve your quality of life.

The decision to proceed with knee, hip or shoulder replacement is not made lightly. Your primary physician and orthopedic surgeon will help you assess whether the condition of your knee, hip, or shoulder warrants total joint replacement surgery.  At Providence, we offer a wide array of surgical options for adult reconstruction of  hips, 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.
