Orthopedic and Joint Replacement Center

Ocean Medical Center provides a broad range of specialized orthopedic services. A majority of our staff are graduates of fellowships in subspecialties including hand, spine, sports medicine, and joint replacement.

Our orthopedists and support staff work to prevent and correct injuries and disorders of the skeletal system and associated muscles, joints, and ligaments. We utilize minimally invasive techniques that promote faster recovery and greater comfort for patients, and we have both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation and fitness services through our Meridian Life Fitness and Rehabilitation Centers and Shore Rehabilitation Institute.

Experts in Joint Replacement and Other Complex Surgeries
Normally, the joints of the body provide smooth, pain-free movement. However, as we age, our bodies undergo change, and sometimes this results in specific joint problems. For instance, when a joint becomes damaged or diseased with arthritis, it can become stiff and painful, altering your lifestyle and preventing you from participating in the daily activities you enjoy.

Our experienced professionals will diagnose your problem and develop a plan of care that fits your needs. While our first-line approach is to explore non-surgical treatment options, when a surgical procedure becomes the right choice, our team has the ability to replace all major joints, including the hips, knees, and shoulders.

Sports Medicine for Both Professional and Recreational Athletes
More people today participate in some form of athletic activity, from professional athletes to recreational players to students. Our prevention programs are designed to help you minimize your risk of injury and optimize performance. If you do get injured, we offer a wide range of non-surgical and surgical treatment options, including rehabilitation services. You can count on Ocean to help you recover from injuries and get back in the game as soon as possible.

Innovative Treatments for Spinal Injuries and Disorders
Eight out of ten Americans will experience back pain at some point in their lives. The good news is that the majority of back injuries are preventable, and most individuals fully recover in a short period of time using conservative treatments.

We offer a full range or preventive services, rehabilitation, and advanced diagnostic testing. Our medical professionals have extensive training and experience in treating spinal disorders, and our surgeons specialize in advanced surgical procedures of the spine. For example, vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, use minimally-invasive surgery to end back pain from fractured or herniated vertebrae.
