For relief from pain and limited mobility—see an orthopaedic doctor
Most of us move our bodies without a second thought. We walk, run, lift, bend and play without ever thinking about it—until an injury or illness limits us in some way. The seemingly "effortless" movement of our bodies actually relies on a complex set of coordinated systems with the musculoskeletal system. The body's bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, cartilage, tendons and connective tissue give the body its form and stability, as well as movement.
So whether you're coping with a simple sports- or accident-related injury, a complex injury due to trauma, or you're dealing with the painful effects of a condition that limits your mobility and causes pain, our orthopaedic doctors at Main Line Health see patients at locations throughout the western suburbs of Philadelphia. You'll also find that some of our doctors are among the top orthopaedic surgeons in the Philadelphia region.

With more than 100 orthopaedic doctors who perform thousands of orthopaedic treatments procedures every year, we offer nonsurgical treatments such as steroidal injections, physical therapy and other state-of-the-art techniques to relieve muscle and joint pain and improve movement. We are also leaders in minimally invasive, muscle-sparing orthopaedic surgery procedures that offer a faster recovery with some procedures even done in an outpatient setting.
Leaders in orthopaedic precision and experts in custom-fit procedures
We use robotic-assisted technologies for partial and total knee and hip replacement and NAVIO® for total knee replacement to increase precision and improve outcomes for joint replacement procedures. We were among the first to perform reverse total shoulder replacement surgery and custom-fit knee replacement surgery; we are also leaders in cartilage restoration using the body's own healthy cartilage to replace the damaged.
Before your joint replacement surgery, you can participate in hip and knee pain seminars in your community to learn more about your condition, and to better understand your surgery and ask any questions that may concern you about your hospital stay and rehabilitation. Your room will be private if your procedure requires a hospital stay, and your postsurgical physical rehabilitation therapy is available in many locations and at varying levels of intensity based on your needs.
