Joint replacement surgery is a last-resort treatment option for chronic
joint pain. In many cases, joint pain can be successfully treated with
physical therapy, medication, and rest. These options should always be
explored before considering a surgical procedure.
Joint replacement is a highly effective treatment for joint pain. It is
most often recommended for patients with advanced arthritis that can’t
be treated with more conservative methods.
The video below is a presentation with Dr. Drew Lighthart, the Medical
Director of St. John's Joint Replacement Center. He walks through joint
replacement surgeries offered at St. John's Health, as well as answers
common questions patients may have related to diagnosis, surgery and recovery.
