It holds, pushes, pulls, twists, bends, jumps, walks, crawls, runs, stoops, and stretches. It's soft, hard, ridged, and flexible all at the same time. It's the most amazing motion machine ever created.
It is, of course, your body!

 Changes in the body can create some unique challenges if the ability to move becomes painful, especially for hips and knees. Pain may cause you to restrict movement. But doing less only results in more pain and discomfort.
Such an amazing and complex 'machine' requires specialized care, especially if joint pain is a problem. Suppose you needed a hip or knee replacement, you'd choose a doctor who specializes in joint replacement. You would also insist on having the procedure at a hospital where a hip and knee program is dedicated exclusively to your needs.
That's exactly what you'll find at the Bon Secours Joint Replacement Centers. With locations in Norfolk (DePaul Medical Center), Portsmouth (Maryview Medical Center), and Newport News (Mary Immaculate Hospital), a program is now available in your area. These programs have been customized for patients with joint pain, including those who need surgery for arthritis or other problems with their joints.
A Common Focus
The entire staff serves as your personal care team. Physicians aren't the only specialists; nurses, physical and occupational therapists, care managers, nursing assistants, and other support personnel are also specially trained to help you prepare for and recover from your procedure.
Exceptional Care
Specialized education helps you and your family focus on recovery from the time you make the decision to have a procedure until you are home and have completed physical therapy. The Bon Secours facilities offer free seminars (twice a month) to learn about joint pain. If you need a procedure, you and your family are invited to attend an informative preparation class to learn more about the events that will take place. You will have the opportunity to meet the professionals on your recovery team and given the opportunity to have all your questions answered. A Patient Care Coordinator assists with personal needs and ensures your experience is a pleasant one.
There is no need to drive around town looking for specialized services to regain mobility. You'll find everything necessary for the complete recovery of your amazing motion machine through Bon Secours.
