When you have joint pain, you need a treatment that will allow you to enjoy activities without discomfort. The orthopedic specialists at Southcoast Health are here to help. With arthroscopy, we can diagnose and treat joint pain in our patients with ease.
Also called arthroscopic surgery, our procedure for arthroscopy in Fall River, Dartmouth, New Bedford and Wareham, MA allows our expert orthopedic surgeons to view your joints and perform minimally invasive surgery with an arthroscope (a tube-shaped instrument with a camera). That way, we can make small incisions instead of having to perform an open joint surgery.
The orthopedic team at Southcoast can use arthroscopy on your knees, shoulders, wrists, ankles, hips and elbows when less invasive treatments haven’t provided the relief that you need from symptoms like swelling, pain, immobility or inflexibility. This procedure can treat:
Arthroscopy can be performed at several of our locations in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It may take just a few weeks or a few months to fully recover, and our orthopedists often recommend crutches or a sling, as well as physical therapy.
If you are looking for orthopedic services close to home, find a doctor at Southcoast and schedule an appointment. Or sign up to attend our Joint Seminar to see if your joint pain can be treated with arthroscopy. Call 508-973-1559 to register and learn more.
