Joint Replacement: Is it Right for You?

Degenerative joint diseases such as arthritis, musculoskeletal disease, or joint trauma can create complications that impact the quality of your life. TOC’s highly trained and board-certified doctors can help you manage these complications and work towards solutions that support your overall wellness.

We are the first and only group in the region to offer a full range of joint replacements including, Shoulders, Knees, Ankles, and Hips (posterior and anterior approaches), as well as Robotic-assisted Knee and anterior Hip replacements.

For some patients, joint replacement may be recommended. It’s a treatment option that can help restore and improve function for people who experience limitations in their range of motion and mobility, or who are enduring regular pain. Typically, we see these issues in hips and knees, but shoulders and ankles are also affected. When surgery is performed by a joint replacement specialist, patients find that they can return to activities like walking, tennis, gardening, golf, and playing with their kids all without pain.

Joint surgery can be a game changer, but it’s not for everybody. That’s why TOC carefully considers if it’s an appropriate treatment option for each patient as an individual. There’s a thorough discussion of all the available options before deciding on the best treatment plan.

TOC Surgeons: Leaders in Joint Replacement

If joint replacement is the option selected, patients can be confident in the quality of their care with TOC. Our orthopaedic physicians are award-winning and have been awarded a Health Grades Five-Star distinction for Total Knee Replacement as the exclusive Joint Replacement providers at Huntsville Hospital.

Joint replacement patients can also feel confident that their treatment will be state-of-the-art. TOC specialists develop personalized options for each patient including posterior, anterior, and the Mako robotic-assisted surgery.

Whichever joint is causing challenges, TOC has talented, caring professionals to evaluate the extent of your issues, and whether surgical or non-surgical treatment options are best. If surgery is required, you can be confident it will be delivered in a way that maximizes your post-surgery function.

With award-winning surgeons and state-of-the-art technology, TOC is the place to be for joint replacements. Schedule your appointment for a consultation today and take the first step toward enjoying the rest of your active life.

Citywide Physical Exams – Saturday, January 7th @ Godspeed Jones Valley

We hope everyone had an amazing holiday break and made it through the wild weather unscathed.  With a new year brings many changes, but one thing that you can always count on is our commitment to the health and safety of all student-athletes in North Alabama. That is why we are proud to announce that in conjunction with Godspeed-Jones Valley, Huntsville Hospital Sports Center and TOC Sports will be hosting our Spring Sports Citywide Physicals:

Saturday, January 7th from 8:00-10:00am at the Godspeed facility in Jones Valley

This is an amazing opportunity for your athletes to renew their physical exams for the upcoming season and have it updated for the next 12 months. This is also a great time for any NEW athletes to complete their pre-participation physical exam prior to the start of their new season.

In an effort to save parents and students time, TOC has provided an updated AHSAA Physical Exam Form that can be accessed from the “Patient” menu at the top of our webpage; followed by clicking on “Forms and Policies”. You are welcome to print it out at your convenience.

We are happy to be able to care for our community and scholastic-athletes through these events and programs, and look forward to serving you this coming Saturday.
