Joint Replacement

A common candidate for total joint replacement is someone who suffers from chronic pain due to wear and tear from years of constant use (osteoarthritis). In other people, rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic illness, sports injury or trauma may also present problems for which joint replacement could be a beneficial solution. The orthopedic surgeons affiliated with Des Peres Hospital are specially trained to evaluate and treat hip and knee problems. Their goal is to help relieve your pain and restore your mobility and freedom of movement.

Spine Treatment

Neck, arm, back and leg pain resulting from injury, chronic degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis may be treated without surgery. However, if pain is not resolved with conservative treatment or problems such as weakness or loss of sensation occur, our orthopedic spine surgeon may recommend surgery  to help alleviate the symptoms.

Sports Injuries

The specialists at Des Peres Hospital provide diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention for shoulder, elbow and knee injuries related to athletic activities. Our multi-disciplinary team works with patients to develop a personalized program designed to help them return to normal activities as quickly as possible, prevent future injuries and maintain a peak level of fitness.

Many types of pain can be managed through physical therapy, trigger point and epidural injections, drug therapy, behavior modification, body mechanics, postural training and pain coping skills.
