Knee pain? Let’s talk about one of the biggest game changers 👇

Proper exercise and maintaining a healthy weight play a HUGE role in knee health. 🦵

Here’s the truth: even small changes make a big impact. Losing just 10 lbs can take up to 40 lbs of pressure off your knees! 🤯

Less pressure = less pain and better movement. 😃

Taking care of your body means taking care of your joints... and your knees will thank you! 💪

🦴 Many people associate joint replacement surgery with older adults, and one of the main reasons is arthritis.

Over time, the protective cartilage in our joints can gradually wear down. This condition, often called osteoarthritis, becomes more common with age and can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
When arthritis severely damages a joint and other treatments no longer provide relief, joint replacement surgery may be recommended to help restore movement and reduce pain.

✨ The goal is simple: help patients stay active, independent, and comfortable in their daily lives!

Mako robotic arm-assisted surgery uses a surgeon-directed robotic arm to provide precise alignment and placement of knee replacement implants. 🦵✨

A CT scan is used to create a personalized 3D model of your joint, allowing your surgeon to build a customized surgical plan before you ever enter the operating room.

During surgery, the Mako system helps your surgeon remove only the damaged bone and accurately place your implant, all while providing real-time data for optimal movement and balance.

Mako delivers precision planning and outstanding outcomes!

Arthritis affects over 46 million adults and children in the U.S.
Did you know it’s not just one disease?

🦴 “Arthritis” is actually a term used to describe more than 100 different medical conditions.

It primarily attacks the musculoskeletal system, especially the joints, and can cause:
🔥 Pain
🧊 Stiffness
🩹 Inflammation
⚠️ Joint cartilage damage

👴 While majority of individuals with arthritis are older adults, arthritis can impact people of all ages, making everyday movements more difficult and uncomfortable.

If you’re experiencing persistent joint pain or stiffness, don’t ignore it.
Early awareness and care can make a big difference, and we are here to help!
