How Do You Take Pain Away?
The Right Treatment for Your Pain
Pain is personal, so at Baptist, we treat every kind differently. That’s why you can expect to receive a personalized care plan to fit your unique needs. While we offer a variety of treatment options, including physical therapy, joint replacement surgery is one of the most common treatments for severe joint pain.
During the procedure, an orthopedic surgeon replaces your injured or deformed joint with an artificial body part (prosthesis). Joint replacement surgery is performed when pain and stiffness make your daily activities difficult or impossible, and less
invasive methods — such as medication or physical therapy — haven’t been effective.
The orthopedic specialists at Baptist take joint and bone care very personally. And they should — many of them have undergone procedures like joint replacement at the Baptist facility where they work.
Our orthopedic doctors and surgeons have treated more than 30,000 joint pain sufferers since 2005. Every day, we strive to improve and offer you exactly what you need for your
specific joint pain. You’ll receive high-quality, personalized care at Baptist, with advanced testing and state-of-the-art treatment techniques. We never stop learning, and we never settle for just good enough.
Our orthopedic specialists have treated many kinds of pain with joint replacement surgery: From a 34-year-old nurse with hip dysplasia who was unable to perform her job or even walk her dog to an 18-year-old baseball player whose broken wrist jeopardized
his college scholarship to a 71-year-old grandmother whose arthritis was so severe she considered canceling a trip to meet her newborn grandson. Wherever your life is broken, we’re here to offer healing.

to put on your own socks and shoes, we can help you get back to your daily life.
Our arthritis specialists treat more than 100 types of arthritis diseases and conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis — the most common type of arthritis that affects the wrist and small joints of the hand — and psoriatic arthritis, a form
of arthritis that affects people with the skin condition psoriasis.
Arthritis Symptoms
Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases are characterized by pain, swelling, and limited movement in joints and connective tissues in the body. Although arthritis and rheumatic diseases can affect anyone from children to older adults, arthritis is the
leading cause of disability among people ages 65 and older, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Diagnosing arthritis and other rheumatic diseases can sometimes be difficult, as many symptoms are similar among the different
diseases. To make an accurate diagnosis, your doctor will review your medical history, perform a complete physical exam and possibly order laboratory tests, X-rays or other imaging tests.
No matter what form of arthritis you’re suffering from, the arthritis specialists at Baptist can help. We understand that your condition is as unique as you are, so we treat your arthritis in a personalized way. Your doctor will work with you to
find the most appropriate treatment options for your particular arthritis.
