Orthopedic Center of Excellence

Houston Physician's Hospital’s Orthopedic Center of Excellence

We believe the key to better outcomes is an unwavering commitment to superior education. Promoting transparency and knowing exactly what to expect each step of the way helps reduce stress and anxiety while preparing you for a smooth recovery. The Orthopedic Center of Excellence at Houston Physicians’ Hospital focuses on patient care and clinical outcomes. Once complete, many patients recommend us to their friends and family due to the result and experience from their stay. Houston Physicians’ Hospital is proud to offer a unique program that encourages the recovery and discharge of patients from the hospital in one to three days after surgery. Our program was designed by surgeons in collaboration with our specially trained staff and input from patients. We strive to enable our patients to be able to walk as early as the same day as their hip or knee surgery and resume normal activity in six to 12 weeks.

Types of Joint Pain

Joint pain can arise in many forms, but the most common types of joint pain include:

• Hip pain
• Knee pain

Symptoms of joint problems include:

• Pain or stiffness in the muscles surrounding a joint
• Difficulty moving joints
• Swelling of the area around the joint
• Sharp pain
• Pain that becomes worse after certain activities

Joint pain can be mild and easily treated at home. However, if your joint pain does not respond to at-home treatments and interferes with your daily life, it may be time to seek treatment by a medical professional.

Houston Physicians' Hospital's Comprehensive Approach

Joints are what forms the connection between our bones. They provide the body with support and allow us to move. Pain felt in the joints can lead to reduced movement and interference with your everyday life. Joint pain can range from mild irritation to debilitating. It can last for several weeks to several months. Even small cases of joint pain can keep you from getting back to the activities you enjoy. Joint pain is most often managed with medication, physical therapy, and, in some cases, surgery. At Houston Physicians’ Hospital, we create an individualized and effective treatment program to help you get back to a pain-free life. Our state-of-the-art Orthopedic Center of Excellence utilizes the latest treatment methods to effectively manage and eliminate joint pain.
