Musculoskeletal disease such as arthritis and orthopaedic
injuries are seldom fatal; however, they are by far the leading
cause of pain and disability.
It is the intent of JOI to relieve pain and to restore the individual
to maximum potential for an active, productive lifestyle. Therefore,
we encourage our patients to be educated participants in the decision-making
process regarding their treatment. Your physician will inform you
about the nature of your orthopaedic problem, discuss treatment
options, and provide you with other pertinent information.
The resources section provides information that we hope our patients
find helpful in answering questions about JOI. The information in
this section is general and should help you formulate questions
that you may want to ask your physician about.
We understand that the future of your healthcare depends on the
choices we make today.
