Non-surgical options can help preserve joint function and relieve joint pain, including:
- Therapeutic exercise programs
- Physical therapy
- Oral and topical medications
- Injections
“When my patients are experiencing pain or instability that prevents them from living a healthy lifestyle – after trying non-surgical options – then I know it’s time to consider surgery,” says Dr. Chen.
Surgical options:
When hip or knee replacement surgery is recommended, our board-certified team of surgeons use the most advanced techniques to minimize pain and speed up recovery. For many patients suffering from joint pain and looking to return a more active lifestyle, robotic-assisted surgery may be an effective treatment option. With this innovative technology, our surgeons perform surgery with greater precision and accuracy – allowing better outcomes for our patients.
Thanks to our advanced techniques and premier team of joint care experts, we can treat even the most painful and damaged joints, allowing our patients to keep dancing to life’s beat.
