Tired of being in pain? Suffering from an injury at work or while playing sports? At Chattanooga Center for Joint Replacement and Orthopedics Specialists, we help our patients stay healthy and active by providing expert diagnostics and treatment in comprehensive sports medicine and rehabilitation.
We know how important your mobility is to your health and happiness. An active lifestyle, full of adventure and fun, depends on having healthy joints. If your joints are under stress from an injury or arthritis, we are here to help you find relief. Our care is personalized, and the CCJRO staff provides expert medical treatment and unmatched care.
Dr. Thomas Brown III, M.D., has seen just about every knee, hip, and joint injury possible. Dr. Brown examines patients using advanced expertise to recommend the best medical treatments available. When you come in for an exam, we will diagnose and evaluate your condition, as well as outline treatment options available to you. After the diagnostics process, we can offer you a variety of treatment options, from the more conservative physical therapy and rehabilitative options to more advanced, surgical treatment.
You are highly encouraged to talk to Dr. Brown and the CCJRO staff at any time regarding any concerns or questions you may have throughout the diagnostic and treatment process.
Sports medicine and orthopedics have significantly advanced in the past few decades. We can now treat major and minor joint injuries with either minimally invasive techniques or more traditional open procedures. Dr. Brown is an award-winning orthopedic surgeon, and he will do everything possible to get you back to optimal mobility quickly and safely. Please follow our Home Preparation guidelines before your surgery. Here are our tips on what to bring and what to expect in the operating room.
Our advanced surgical techniques are continually evolving, and for most minimally-invasive surgeries you can go home the same day. More complex surgeries may require hospitalization, and we will be there to help you recover every step of the way. During the recovery process, it’s important that you receive the appropriate care so you can recover from the operation in a timely manner. We’ve compiled a list of important information for caregivers and patients to facilitate optimal recovery after surgery.
