A twinge in your knee after a long day of hiking or a slight shoulder pain after starting a new workout plan—these are common experiences. Occasional joint pain is a normal part of life. But chronic joint pain that prevents you from working and enjoying life is not.
Our orthopedic specialists are skilled at treating even the most complex joint problems. Once we make an accurate diagnosis, we’ll talk with you about your treatment options, answering your questions and considering your lifestyle goals.
In some situations, joint replacement may be the best treatment option. During this kind of surgery, the damaged joint is replaced with an artificial one. Our orthopedic surgeons are specially skilled in joint-replacement surgery, offering the experience and expertise that helps ensure success.
Your specialist will talk with you about how you can best prepare for joint replacement surgery. We will also work with you during your stay in the hospital after surgery and at home so that your surgery is as successful as possible.
The Augusta Health Joint Center staff knows everyone who comes to us is unique.
That’s why our care—from pre-operative services to post-op care—is centered on the patient’s needs. Working as a dedicated team, we focus on making the patient feel informed, empowered and supported every step of the way.
