Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Osteoarthritis is the number one reason for hip replacement surgery. Joint replacement removes the damaged parts of the hip and replaces them with prostheses or artificial joint parts, to relieve pain, regain lost mobility, and allow the patient to enjoy health-enhancing activities and exercise. Joint replacement surgery may also be recommended for rheumatoid arthritis, osteonecrosis, injury to the hip joint, and bone tumors.
Plantar Fasciitis
Medical Weight Loss
At OSSWF, we offer a variety of non-surgical treatment options for knee pain, including physical therapy, injections, and weight loss. In some cases, surgery may be the best option to relieve your pain and improve your function. We offer a variety of minimally-invasive surgical options, including knee replacement surgery and ACL tear treatment.

MRI
Imaging Services at Orthopedic Specialists of SW Florida include an advanced digital radiography system and MRI.
