Now’s the Time for a Lasting Solution to Pain
Pain shouldn’t prevent you from doing the things that matter most to you. If conservative treatments like physical therapy or cortisone shots no longer help, you may be a great candidate for joint replacement surgery.
Advancements in techniques and materials are helping artificial joints last longer, and recovery times be shorter. No matter your age, joint replacement can help you live longer, grow stronger and feel younger.
Make the move from pain management to treatment. Learn more about orthopaedic surgery at ProMedica.
Customized Treatments
Our experts offer a range of treatments for knee, hip and shoulder pain. When your joint no longer works properly and without pain, our surgeons can replace the damaged parts of your joint with artificial parts.
Knee Replacements
Our experts perform partial and full knee replacements.
Hip Replacements
Our experts perform total hip replacements, hip resurfacing and replacement revision surgeries.
Shoulder Replacements
Our experts perform partial, reverse and total shoulder replacements and shoulder resurfacing.
What’s holding you back?
New materials for artificial joints and better replacement methods have led to shorter recovery times. They also lower the risk of complications and reduce the need for future surgeries.
What is recovery time like?
Many patients can leave the hospital the same day. They can ditch mobility devices as soon as two weeks after surgery, or four to six weeks on average. Patients can get back to their favorite low-impact exercises within four to six weeks, and higher impact exercise after three months.
Will I need another replacement down the road?
Patients can now have joint replacements younger without the fear of revision surgery down the road. Replacements are now expected to last 25 to 30 years.
What do I need to do before I receive a joint replacement?
The journey to joint replacement looks different for everyone. Many people try more conservative treatments before looking into replacement. However, if pain is preventing you from enjoying everyday life, it might be time.
