Quality Orthopedic Care in Your Neighborhood

By: Christian Hospital    1868 0

If you're suffering from knee issues, back pain, a broken bone or arthritis, you want to be treated right away. Our experienced orthopedic team at Christian Hospital will get you moving sooner, delivering the best orthopedic care when you need it most. This care includes a full range of services to diagnose, treat and rehabilitate injuries and diseases of the bones, spine, joints, muscles and nerves.

Access to BJC Medical Group Expertise

Patients can be scheduled with an orthopedic specialist at Christian Hospital in as soon as 48 hours. Patients with HMO plans require a referral. Unlike specialists at other hospitals that may have scheduling waits upwards of three months, we get patients in as soon as possible.

Our orthopedic team includes BJC Medical Group surgeons and physician assistants who work collaboratively to expedite service and provide quicker access to care. The team also includes board-certified, fellowship-trained foot and ankle specialists, as well as skilled spine surgeons to treat back pain and other spine issues. With years of extensive orthopedic experience, you can have confidence in our team's expertise.

Our orthopedic patients are also cared for by the rehabilitation team at Northwest HealthCare and the Christian Hospital pain management team. This multidisciplinary approach ensures the best patient experience, from treatment through recovery.

Reaching Your Goals: Treatment Focused on You

From reducing pain to improving mobility and athletic ability, our treatment options are here to get you back to whatever your pain is stopping you from doing — even simple things like gardening or chasing grandkids around the house. For athletes, our sports medicine physicians are some of the best in the St. Louis area.

Our orthopedic team will complete a thorough evaluation of your condition to determine the best treatment, including non-surgical and surgical options.

Sometimes, the best option for patients suffering from joint pain and stiffness is joint replacement surgery. Should you need a partial or total shoulder, hip, knee or ankle replacement, our team of orthopedic surgeons, nurses and therapists will guide you through the entire process, from pre-surgery education to post-surgery rehabilitation and recovery.

For serious athletes or anyone with a sports-related injury, we offer the treatments and rehabilitation programs necessary to regain motion and strength and get you back in the game. Our sports medicine specialists even work with athletes in the community at local schools.

Care From Start to Finish

Rehabilitation is a critical component of any orthopedic injury or surgery. To ensure a full recovery, Christian Hospital offers comprehensive rehabilitation services, including a full-service outpatient therapy center at Northwest HealthCare. We even offer pre-rehab sessions prior to surgery. To help improve performance or overcome an injury, Christian Hospital also has physical therapists who specialize in sports rehabilitation, and will work with you to design a program tailored to your specific injury and sport for your best outcome.

From joint replacements to sprains and fractures, Christian Hospital's team of orthopedic experts is ready to get you back to your life sooner.
