    A Guide to the Ocala Joint Care Center

    Last updated 1 day 13 hours ago

    At Ocala Regional Medical Center and West Marion Community Hospital, we understand that joint health is vital for maintaining mobility and sustaining a sense of overall wellness. This is why we strive to offer the highest quality joint replacement and rehabilitation services to the men and women in the Ocala community. Below are some of the main orthopedic services and amenities provided by Ocala Health System’s Joint Care Center. 

    • Advanced technology and surgical techniques
      Many of the procedures performed at our Joint Care Center are minimally invasive and utilize some of the most advanced surgical technology available. Patients who undergo minimally invasive surgeries often have reduced recovery times, less pain, and fewer complications than traditional open surgeries.
       
    • Best possible care
      Our healthcare team understands that surgery can be a major undertaking for any patient. That’s why our dedicated orthopedics team works hard to make sure each patient has a positive experience during his or her stay with us while still upholding the highest standard of medical care. When admitted for an orthopedic procedure, patients are offered a spacious, private room, including private dining facilities and a gourmet lunch for them and a guest.
       
    • Supportive rehabilitation services
      To promote optimal flexibility and a comfortable healing process, physical therapy is begun the morning after joint surgery is performed. Families are welcome to observe the rehabilitation sessions and offer their support. Many patients are able to return to the comfort of their own homes shortly after their first therapy session.

    The Ocala Health System’s Joint Care Center is the leading provider in joint care services in the region and has also been designated a Blue Distinctions Center for Knee and Hip Replacement by Blue Cross Blue Shield.  If you are interested in learning more about our exceptional orthopedic services, please contact Ocala Health System at (866) 511-3768 today.
