Change your pain. Change your life.

When joint pain threatens to change your quality of life, The Christ Hospital Joint & Spine Center has the expertise to change it back. Whether it's your ankle, knee, hip or shoulder, we're here to get you back to doing the things you love in the shortest time possible.

We're Cincinnati's leading destination for joint care. We use the latest technology and advanced techniques to offer minimally invasive surgical options when possible. That means shorter recovery times and less pain.

Our team of highly skilled, experienced orthopedic specialists perform hundreds of joint replacements each year and can determine the best treatment to get you moving again.

It's time to make an appointment when:

  • You have difficulty completing regular activities due to bone and joint pain.
  • You have limited range of motion in a joint.
  • You have intense, ongoing pain.
  • You have an acute or chronic sports injury.
  • You are unsteady on your feet when standing up, walking or sitting down.
  • You have pain in your bones, joints or soft tissues for an extended length of time.
