Rollie was struggling with knee pain that limited his everyday activities. After a knee replacement with Dr. Jeffrey Ginther and the ExactechGPS technology, Rollie was able to get back to his active lifestyle.
We know that knee replacement surgery is a major decision. You may be reading and thinking a lot about it. You may be asking yourself if this kind of surgery is worth it, or if it is your only option. Your doctor may suggest other ways to manage your knee arthritis. These may include:
- Direct heat
- Lifestyle changes such as weight loss or exercise
- Over-the-counter medicines for pain and swelling
- Prescription medicines
- Injections (shots)
- Physical therapy
When these treatments no longer help you, it may be time to consider knee replacement surgery, like these patients did.
