However, for many, living with painful joints can limit the desired level of physical activity, and at time, become debilitating.
Isnt it great to know that the team of physicians, nurses, therapists and other clinicians at Physicians Regional Healthcare System in Naples has the expertise in treating joint pain. Offering minimally invasive, state-of-the-art robotic technology for knee replacement, as well as total knee and hip replacement surgery, Physicians Regional offers two Total Joint Center locations for patients to choose when it comes to joint surgery.
Physicians Regional Healthcare System is proud that their patients leave the hospital sooner, and more of their patients go directly home from the hospital that state or national average. This means most patients return to an active lifestyle more quickly, and get back to doing the things they love.
Our patients walk an average of 650 feet before being discharged from the hospital, said Sara Laporte, R.N., Director of Orthopedics and
Robotic Surgery for Physicians Regional Healthcare System. Our patients love our program, and tell us that they are pleased to be able to go back to playing golf, tennis, and other activities that were too painful to enjoy before surgery.
The program at Physicians Regional is unique patients participate in group rehab and physical therapy following their surgery. They are up and moving the same day they have surgery. Getting our patients moving soon after surgery is key to their rapid recovery and transition back home, Laporte tells us. Our approach is to get them moving, and track their progress using milestone markers throughout the Joint Camp. We measure their steps using a golf-themed chart, and advance their golf cart on the chart as they increase the steps they are able to walk.
Physicians Regional Healthcare System performs more than 1,000 hip and knee surgeries annually. Patient satisfaction is extremely high for the patients who choose these hospitals for their joint replacement surgery.
