Joint Replacement
At South Texas Spinal Clinic, we are proud to offer expert joint replacement care. Our skilled team combines advanced techniques with a patient-centered philosophy to relieve pain and restore function—helping patients return to their normal, active lifestyles.
Know When It’s Time to Consider Joint Replacement
Joint replacement surgery can provide lasting relief for patients with severe arthritis, joint damage, or chronic pain that no longer responds to conservative care. Replacing a damaged joint with an artificial implant restores mobility, reduces pain, and improves quality of life.
You should request an appointment with a joint replacement surgeon if you notice any of these symptoms:
- Chronic joint pain that persists or worsens with activity
- Stiffness or loss of mobility that limits daily activity
- Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods
- Swelling, tenderness, or deformity around the joint
- Pain that interferes with sleep or quality of life
- Joint pain not relieved by medication, physical therapy, or other nonsurgical treatments
You may also need to see a joint replacement doctor if you believe you have one of the following conditions:
- Severe osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
- Advanced degenerative joint disease
- Joint deformities, such as bow-legged or knock-kneed alignment
- Avascular necrosis (loss of blood supply to the joint bone)
- Recurrent joint instability or mechanical failure of a previous replacement
- Joint fractures that cannot be repaired with nonsurgical methods

We Offer You the Expert Joint Care You Deserve
At South Texas Spinal Clinic, we’re committed to providing lasting solutions for patients in need of joint replacement.

Advanced Bone Health
Healthy bones are critical to supporting joint replacements and ensuring the long-term success of surgery. Low bone density or osteoporosis can compromise implant stability and increase the risk of complications. Our bone health doctor and providers can assess your bone health, recommend strengthening strategies, and offer treatments to help protect your joints and implants for years to come.
