Joint Pain
Whether your pain just started or it’s been going on for too long, we can help you find relief. The first step is determining when you should seek treatment. If you’re experiencing pain in your knee, hip, shoulder, foot or ankle we encourage you to take our joint pain assessment. The assessment asks you questions to help the team understand where your pain is coming from and what it may be caused by. After completing the assessment, we’ll offer a recommendation.

Robotic-Assisted Knee Surgery
Merit Health Wesley offers robotic-assisted surgical options for patients in need of a knee replacement procedure. Robotic-assisted surgical treatments can transform the way orthopedic surgery is performed by enabling surgeons to have a more predictable surgical experience with increased accuracy.
Before surgery, a computed tomography (CT) scan is taken of the knee, and the robotic-assisted surgery system creates a 3D anatomical model. This allows surgeons to create a plan that is unique for each patient, assessing the needs of the joint.
During surgery, the software provides real-time information to optimize implant positioning and alignment. The robotic-assisted surgery system guides the surgeon, allowing them to cut less and preserve more of the patient’s healthy anatomy.
Because robotic-assisted joint surgery is less invasive, patients have the potential to experience reduced pain, regain motion sooner and return to their daily activities quicker.
Other potential benefits include:
- Less bleeding, pain and scarring
- Shorter hospital stays
- Faster recovery
