Joint replacement surgery—is it right for you?

According to our joint replacement experts, you may be ready for a joint replacement if you’re experiencing the following:

• You have joint pain that keeps you awake at night
• The pain in your joint prevents you from participating in your favorite recreational activities
• You have stiffness in your joint that limits your ability to move or lift your leg
• You have attempted conservative methods (i.e., exercise and/or drug therapy) without success

Recommendations for joint replacement surgery depend on your individual needs and goals. To find out if you are ready for joint replacement surgery, schedule an appointment with one of our highly trained joint replacement surgeons!

Patient Approved! 🙌 | “I'm a patient of Dr. Erik Johnson at Carolina Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Center. He's treated me for my left shoulder injury that happened when I fell down a flight of stairs and the stairs won! He performed my surgery and has been THE best orthopaedic specialist I have ever been to. He's very thorough and is always cordial and friendly as well as understanding of my situation, whether it was a money issue when I was unemployed or a time constraint involving raising a family. I've recommended him to 2 others who have had Dr. Johnson perform their shoulder surgeries as well, both of which were very happy with him as I am. Dr. Erik Johnson is THE VERY BEST in his field and the staff at Carolina Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Center are superb!!” –Jennifer C.

When asked what she enjoys most about working here, Anna said it’s the amazing teamwork and how well everyone gets along. 🤝

🎃 SAFETY TIPS | Pumpkin carving season is here! Before you dive into creating your spooky masterpiece, keep these safety tips in mind:

🔪 Use the right tools – Pumpkin carving kits are safer than kitchen knives.
✋ Carve away from yourself – Always cut with controlled, downward motions.
🕯️ Light it safely – Swap candles for LED lights to avoid burns or fire hazards.
👀 Supervise kids – Let them draw the design and scoop out the seeds, while adults handle the carving.

Stay safe, keep your fingers injury-free, and have a gourd-geous Halloween! 🎃
