Total Joint Replacement Pinehurst, NC & Harrisonburg, Strasburg & Broadway, VA

Total Joint Replacement

Every year over 719,000 total knee replacements and 330,000 hip replacements are performed in the United States. This procedure has become a routine way to keep our joints moving after advanced arthritis and joint degeneration. There are several factors that go into a successful total joint replacement surgery and the improved function that follows. A well-skilled surgeon can execute a perfect surgery; however, that doesn’t always mean it’ll be successful. How you rehabilitate your joint and body afterward is critical to the outcomes of the surgery and maximizing your results.

It’s your choice

Where you go for rehabilitation after your surgery makes a big difference in the outcomes. As with any type of service, not all Pinehurst, Harrisonburg, and Broadway physical therapy clinics are the same. You always have the choice to go for physical therapy where you choose.

Typically, after surgery, you will have physical therapy in the hospital, then in your home or inpatient facility. To achieve the best outcome, it is vital that you continue with physical therapy in an outpatient setting, such as a treatment plan with Appalachian Physical Therapy.
