When joint pain, stiffness, or loss of function becomes severe, and non-surgical
treatments no longer provide lasting relief, joint replacement surgery
may be the best option for restoring mobility and quality of life.
At Baxter Health, we understand that deciding to undergo a joint replacement
is a major step. That's why our experienced, board-certified orthopaedic
surgeons take the time to thoroughly evaluate your condition, review your
medical history, and ensure that surgery is truly the most effective and
appropriate next step. Joint replacement is a very effective treatment
that can eliminate most, if not all, of the problems your condition was causing.
When Is Joint Replacement Surgery Necessary?
Joint replacement is typically recommended when:
Conservative treatments such as medications, physical therapy, or injections
no longer provide relief
Joint damage significantly limits daily activities like walking, climbing
stairs, or sleeping
Pain continues even while resting
There is severe arthritis, injury, or long-term wear and tear
