Who Needs Joint Replacement Surgery

The most common reason for joint replacement is degenerative arthritis, a condition caused by the gradual wear and tear of cartilage in the hip or knee.

If joint pain is limiting your mobility, work, or daily activities, our team can develop a personalized treatment plan to restore your function. We start with non-surgical options, such as:
• Medications
• Injection therapy
• Physical therapy

OADC also has a dedicated team of non-operative orthopedic specialists to help manage pain and delay or avoid surgery when possible. If these treatments are no longer effective, surgery may be the best option.
