About the Joint Center
The Providence Joint Center in Everett provides innovative solutions for individuals experiencing disability from arthritis and other adult joint use problems. A highly specialized treatment team offers a variety of treatment options, considering every alternative before surgery. Each patient’s individual needs, from diagnosis to treatment and rehabilitation, are met with the goal of helping them move toward an active, pain-free lifestyle. State-of-the-art surgical and non-surgical techniques are utilized to provide advanced treatments. Each individual cared for in the Providence Joint Center is evaluated by physical therapists and provided a customized rehabilitation plan to restore their joint to the maximum possible level of use. After conducting a thorough history and physical examination including X-rays, C.T., and MRI, your physician may recommend medication, injection therapy, physical therapy, or another form of treatment for an arthritic joint. If the joint disease is advanced, your physician may consider the option of a joint replacement. Joint replacement helps to relieve pain and disability caused by arthritis and other orthopedic disorders. More than 500,000 total hip and knee replacements are performed in the United States every year. This is a procedure that has been used over the last three decades with a high degree of success and with minimal risk. Providence Health System has some of the most highly skilled joint surgeons in the region.
