UPMC Hamot Hip & Knee Center
Your hips and knees work hard for you every day of your life. They help you to walk, dance, work, even stand. However, routine motions eventually take their toll. As you age, these joints may start to show a little wear and tear, which can lead to pain. Suddenly, hip and knee pain prevents you from participating in many enjoyable—or necessary—life activities. And aches and pains shouldn’t slow you down.
At the UPMC Hamot Hip and Knee Center, we understand the many problems associated with hip and knee disorders. Our goal is to help you learn more about your problem and what can be done to help alleviate the pain associated with it.
