All Specialties & Services

Your health care provider will evaluate your shoulder. This will likely include imaging tests, such as X-rays and often an MRI. You’ll then discuss treatment choices. These can include physical therapy, surgery, or both. After the shoulder is stabilized, proper exercise can help keep it that way.

Hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty) is surgery to replace a worn out or damaged hip joint. The surgeon replaces the old joint with an artificial joint (prosthesis). This surgery may be a choice after a hip fracture or for severe pain because of arthritis.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) is also called physiatry. It is a medical specialty that focuses on restoring function for a person who has been disabled due to a disease, disorder, or injury.

Saint Luke’s skilled nursing provides extra care for patients recovering from an illness or injury, following a hospital stay.

Some patients hope outpatient rehabilitation can help prevent the need for surgery. Some use it to transition out of the hospital. Some just want to get back to the activities they love. No matter the reason, Saint Luke’s sports medicine and rehabilitation teams are here to help.
