Are you a candidate for joint replacement surgery? If so, Southwest's Bone and Joint Center has an extraordinary program to help you. Called the Joint Journey, we've discovered a way to make your experience as stress-free as possible, so you can concentrate on getting back to what you enjoy most.

Between our new orthopedic unit in the award-winning Firstenburg Tower and our Rebound Total Joint Center in the Physicians Pavilion, we have some of the nation's finest facilities and renowned physicians. The Joint Journey is a seven step program that starts with getting a good diagnosis for your arthritis pain all the way to getting back to the activities you enjoy the most.

We strongly encourage support from your friends and family. Your “coach” is someone who can help you after your surgery. Identifying this important person early will help you make your surgery and recovery a success.

We invite you to attend one of our upcoming Arthritis Answers classes (held monthly) to provide education about the different types of arthritis. Or, we offer an ongoing Joint Journey class for hip and knees. Click into our Events calendar and you can easily search for the next classes and register online!

You can also download our Joint Journey Journals (hip or knee) to get a easy-to-read guide of what to expect.
