How to Care for Your Joints and the Latest Advances in Joint Replacements with Dr. Michael Sumko
As we get older, we often attribute our aches and pains to arthritis, typically osteoarthritis. There are times when the wear and tear gets so bad that you lose all the cartilage in your joint and it becomes "bone-on-bone."
Conservative treatment options are typically used first to help avoid a joint replacement and many of these options are successful. Recently a client of the PABR Institute canceled a hip replacement due to the work with did using the PABR method.
Unfortunately, there are times when a joint replacement is needed. That's when you want a surgeon who is highly skilled, caring, attentive to detail and who works with you on your goals.
This past weekend for the Weekend Wellness Hour show, I interviewed just that type of surgeon, Dr. Michael Sumko. We discussed indications for knee and hip replacements as well as indications for revisions of those surgeries.
Dr. Sumko discussed minimally invasive options as well as robotics that are now used in surgeries. We even discussed patient optimization to ensure greater success with these major operations.
Dr. Sumko is the chief of orthopedics at Tempe St. Lukes Hospital in Tempe, Arizona and is the Medical Director of Quality and Cost Efficiency. He served at the VA and is soon to be a clinical associate of Arizona State University. He was nominated and named as a Healthcare Hero in 2017 and is joint fellowship trained by Tony Hedley in less invasive approaches to hip and knee replacement as well as revision surgeries.
Dr. Sumko is a wealth of knowledge in this field and I've personally seen his surgical technique in the operating room!
Please join us for this conversation to learn more how to help your joints, how to determine if you need to see an orthopedic surgeon like him and how to change your lifestyle to improve your life and wellbeing!
