SSM St. Joseph Hospital West has one of the most advanced imaging technologies available to assess musculoskeletal injuries and disorders. We combine the latest in orthopedic technology and techniques with highly skilled multidisciplinary teams of clinicians, surgeons and therapists to prepare a treatment plan tailored to the needs of each patient.
Our orthopedic specialists work closely with the anesthesiologist in the St. Joseph Hospital West Pain Management Center to find a treatment alternative to surgery. However, if the treatment plan calls for surgery, the latest surgical procedures allow shorter hospital stays, much less pain and easier rehabilitation than in the past.
