Some people admire Canada for its publicly funded approach to healthcare; however, when it comes to elective surgeries, such as hip and knee surgery, patients often encounter frustrating delays that jeopardize their well-being.
Hip replacement surgery is no small commitment. Although the process results in greater comfort and mobility in the long term, it can be a bit intimidating, especially if you’re unsure what to expect.
We’ve all heard the phrase, “Timing is everything,” but does it apply to hip replacement surgery too? Choosing the right time of year for your procedure can boost your mindset and morale, make your recovery process more convenient, and possibly even improve your surgery outcomes.
A successful surgical procedure is more than just the surgery itself. Postoperative care plays an important role in maximizing the procedure’s success and helping patients return to their lifestyle.
Anyone experiencing joint pain knows how frustrating it is, between the discomfort and its impact on your quality of life. Joint issues can cause chronic pain, reduce mobility, limit athletic performance, and make daily activities difficult.
Joint replacement surgery can bring incredible relief to candidates with joint pain or discomfort. Still, the postoperative discomfort can be discouraging for some.
