---

At Lake Norman Regional Medical Center, we care for the parts that keep you moving. When a bone, tendon or joint doesn’t work like it’s supposed to, we offer a range of orthopedic services to help get you back to the life you enjoy - from injury prevention and recovery to total joint replacement and rehabilitation.

When should you seek treatment for joint pain?

It can be difficult to know when to see a doctor if you’re experiencing pain in your knee, hip, shoulder, ankle or foot. If the pain is impacting your life it may be time to see an orthopedic specialist.

Recent Injury

We recommend you make an appointment if your joint pain was caused by forceful impact, a twist or hyperextension and you are experiencing symptoms such as:

• Significant swelling
• Redness or discoloration
• Tenderness or warmth around the joint

Seek emergency treatment if your joint appears deformed, you can’t bend it without extreme pain, you heard a popping noise at the time of injury, or have sudden swelling.

Chronic Pain

Sometimes joint pain doesn’t go away and keeps you from doing the things you want to do. If you’re tired of living with a sore, aching and stiff shoulder, knee, hip or ankle it may be time to visit an orthopedic specialist. The orthopedic team can help you find pain relief.

Take a joint pain assessment to help determine if you need treatment.
