What Is Joint School?

I left my hip pain at Joint School To address the debilitating effects of joint disease and injury, Portneuf Medical Center has created Joint School, a program that provides a holistic approach for the treatment of joint discomfort. Modern, award-winning procedures have been in place at Portneuf for years to replace damaged or worn out knees and hips, but this is different. Joint School is a multi-disciplinary program delivered by a team of seasoned experts that believe this is the very best way to provide the orientation you'll benefit from the most.

The Focus at Joint School Is on You

Make no mistake about it. People who participate with us at Joint School will require surgery, with fully functional artificial implants, at some time in the future. That is just the nature of a degenerative disease. However, our individualized strengthening techniques, in-depth education, exercise, nutrition, and physical therapy will help provide greater pain relief in the short term, and provide a successful foundation for success following surgery.

Making a Good Thing Even Better

Portneuf has some of the most skilled orthopaedic surgeons in the region...physicians who are nationally recognized for their care and dedication. These men and women are always looking for ways to raise their quality standards even higher. In fact, Joint School was the inspiration of our physician team and they know it will greatly enhance the outcome for each and every patient.

The Joint School experience is an individual one and meant to meet your needs. At times you will participate in small, group activities that will provide both physical and physiological benefits.

Our ultimate goal is to help maximize your body's mobility after surgery and to improve overall surgical outcomes.
