Hip and Knee Pain

Advanced arthritis in the hip and knee joints can lead to significant disability. Initial treatment typically involves conservative approaches. In cases where surgery becomes necessary, a surgical referral will be initiated to explore options such as arthroplasty or joint replacement surgery. These surgical interventions have proven to be effective in alleviating chronic arthritic pain and boast a commendable track record of success.

Back Pain

Back and spine pain can significantly affect your daily function and quality of life. While most cases of back pain can be effectively managed through conservative treatments, obtaining a proper diagnosis is crucial to determine the relevant care. If surgery becomes necessary, a referral will be arranged to connect you with the appropriate surgeon who will assess and discuss available options.

Surgery

Specific conditions affecting the spine, hip, or knee may be suitable for surgical intervention. If deemed necessary, the Expedium team will facilitate the required referral. While awaiting consultation with a surgeon, various management and conservative treatment options will be explored. The Expedium healthcare team will assist you in navigating the system and ensuring your placement in the appropriate queue.
