The pain and suffering from arthritis can be excruciating. Depending on the type and severity of your condition, surgery may be the best treatment for you. Dr. Howard J. Luks, MD at University Orthopaedics, PC in Westchester, New York can perform joint replacement surgery in a safe and comfortable setting. Call today to discuss how joint replacement surgery can help you to feel better and move better.
Arthritis is the general name for a number of conditions impeding the proper function of the joints. All types of arthritis are characterized by pain and a decreased range of motion, but they vary in cause, severity, and treatment. Depending on the severity of the condition, exercise and physical therapy may be enough to reduce pain and improve mobility, but for more severe cases, only surgery will provide lasting relief. Surgeons today can perform a total joint replacement surgery, giving you artificial hinges between bones that relieve the stress on previously damaged joints.
Dr. Luks is a board certified orthopaedic surgeon with years of experience performing surgery on a variety of conditions. He received his medical degree from New York Medical College and is currently the Chief of Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy at New York Medical College and the Westchester Medical Center. He leads a team of highly trained, surgeons who make patient care the highest priority throughout the treatment process.
