What Is Joint Replacement Surgery?
Joint replacement surgery (also called joint arthroplasty) is a procedure used to treat severe joint pain and loss of mobility. During surgery, damaged or worn parts of a joint are removed and replaced with artificial components designed to move smoothly and reduce discomfort.
Joint replacement may be recommended when pain, stiffness or limited movement begins to interfere with everyday activities and does not improve with medication, physical therapy or other non-surgical treatments.
NorthBay Health performs joint replacement procedures for the hip, knee, shoulder and ankle, helping patients return to walking, exercise, and daily routines with greater ease.
Conditions Treated With Joint Replacement
Joint replacement surgery may help relieve pain and restore function caused by a range of conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis and joint degeneration
- Rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory joint conditions
- Joint damage from injury or trauma
- Chronic pain that limits daily movement and activity
- Loss of mobility that affects independence and quality of life
If joint pain is affecting how you move, sleep, or stay active, a NorthBay Health orthopedic specialist can evaluate your symptoms and recommend the right treatment approach for your needs.
