Atlanta Orthopedic Surgeons OrthoAtlanta Recommend Fixing Your Knees For Winter

Atlanta orthopedic surgeons OrthoAtlanta recommend fixing your knees when the cold winter weather hits.

2013-01-01

NORCROSS, GA, January 01, 2013 (Press-News.org) Atlanta orthopedic surgeons OrthoAtlanta would like to recommend that those with knee issues fix your knees for this winter, so that you can enjoy the season rather than suffer through it.

Anyone who suffers from joint problems knows the cold can make your already aching joints so much more painful. Rather than putting yourself through another year of this discomfort and suffering, consider the benefits of knee replacement surgery.

Depending on the specific causes of your knee pain, you may be candidate for either full or partial knee replacement. In either case, you can relieve your aching by having the damaged or worn parts of the joint replaced with metal or plastic parts that will restore you to comfortable mobility.

"It's such a shame for people to live in pain when they do not really need to, so we encourage patients to handle their knee problems before the cold can exacerbate the issue," explains Dr. Christopher Jarrett, Atlanta orthopedic surgeon with OrthoAtlanta. "Another reason for this timing is that though the recovery period after knee replacement surgery will vary from patient to patient, you will want to give yourself a bit of time before the holidays to be sure that you can move quickly enough to keep up with the business of the season."

The qualified Atlanta orthopedic specialists at OrthoAtlanta have the experience and expertise needed to advise you on the best way to put an end to your knee pain and implement this plan by whatever means necessary. You can always trust that they will treat you with honesty, respect, and a dedication to improving your quality of life.
