Our fellowship trained experts offer comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation to get you back in the game.

  • Very severe joint pain and stiffness may require total joint replacement (TJR). TJR is a surgical procedure in which an arthritic or damaged joint, such as a hip, knee, elbow, or shoulder joint, is removed and replaced with an artificial joint called a prosthesis. The artificial joint is designed to move just like a healthy human joint.

  • AAOC physicians are experts in diagnosing and treating all orthopedic conditions. AAOC offers a full range of orthopedic services to help relieve pain and restore your active lifestyle. Whether you are a gardener that needs a hip replacement, an athlete with a torn ligament, or a worker who has developed carpal tunnel syndrome, you can rely on the world-class orthopedic and sports medicine at AAOC.

  • Age, stress, and disease can make joints stiffen in much the same way as wear and a lack of lubrication can cause stiffness and squeaking in mechanical hinges. The most common joint problem is arthritis, which afflicts about 43 million Americans, or nearly 20% of the population.
