Stiff, painful joints may become lifestyle altering by preventing you from participating in your favorite daily activities.

The thousands of movements we make each day without pain are most often taken for granted. When moving becomes painful, our lives and lifestyles significantly change. When stiff and painful joints keep you from participating in the activities you love, it's time to meet with the team of orthopedic experts at the Tahoe Center for Orthopedics.

Every consultation begins with a thorough physical examination and lifestyle assessment to determine the best path to manage your individual needs and optimize your recovery. If a joint replacement is necessary, our surgeons have the specialized training and experience you'd expect from the best. With pre-operative education and preparation, state-of-the-art surgical techniques and post-operative recovery and rehabilitation programs, our team is dedicated to getting you back to the lifestyle you desire—as quickly and safely as possible.

Over half a million people a year are reaping the benefits of total joint replacement. Generally, patients get back to walking, driving, dancing and light recreation within weeks of surgery. At the Tahoe Center for Orthopedics our goal is to relieve pain and restore function so you can return to the activities you enjoy!

Our orthopedic surgeons have the ability to replace all major joints including:

• Hip Replacement
• Knee Replacement
• Shoulder Replacement
