Orthopedic Services

Lubbock Heart & Surgical Hospital delivers advanced orthopedic care in Lubbock, Texas, treating simple and complex knee, hip, shoulder and spine conditions. Our board-certified orthopedic specialists utilize the latest technology and minimally invasive techniques to restore movement, relieve pain, and enhance quality of life.

Knee

Knee pain can make everyday movement difficult, whether caused by an injury, overuse, or arthritis. Comprehensive care is available for a wide range of knee conditions, including osteoarthritis, ligament or meniscus tears, cartilage damage, and sports-related injuries.

Treatment typically begins with non-surgical options designed to relieve pain and restore mobility. These may include physical therapy, bracing, medications, or injections to reduce inflammation and improve joint function. For more advanced cases, arthroscopic knee surgery, partial knee replacement, or total knee replacement may be recommended.

Each care plan is tailored to the individual’s needs, with the goal of reducing pain, restoring movement, and supporting a return to an active lifestyle. From managing knee arthritis to recovering from a sports injury or preparing for knee replacement surgery, patients receive expert guidance and advanced orthopedic care focused on long-term joint health and comfort.

Hip

Persistent hip pain or stiffness can make walking, bending, or even resting uncomfortable. Comprehensive orthopedic care is available for a variety of hip conditions, including arthritis, labral tears, bursitis, tendon injuries, and hip fractures.

Many patients find relief through non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, medications, activity modifications, or targeted injections to ease pain and improve joint mobility. When more advanced care is needed, procedures like hip arthroscopy or total hip replacement may be recommended. These minimally invasive surgical techniques are designed to reduce discomfort, protect surrounding tissue, and support a faster recovery.

As a leading destination for hip replacement surgery in Lubbock, experienced orthopedic surgeons provide personalized treatment focused on restoring strength, mobility, and confidence—helping patients return to active, independent lives with lasting relief from hip pain.

Shoulder

Shoulder pain can interfere with work, sports, and everyday movement. Expert orthopedic care is available for a range of shoulder injuries and conditions, including rotator cuff tears, shoulder dislocations, labral tears, tendonitis, bursitis, and arthritis.

Many conditions can be managed with non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, activity modification, medications, or cortisone injections to reduce pain and inflammation. For more advanced shoulder damage, surgical options like arthroscopic shoulder surgery, rotator cuff repair, and shoulder replacement (including total and reverse shoulder replacement) may be recommended to restore function and relieve chronic pain.

Each treatment plan is personalized to rebuild strength, improve flexibility, and enhance coordination—helping individuals recover from shoulder pain or injury and return to an active, comfortable lifestyle.

Spine

Chronic back or neck pain can limit movement and affect nearly every part of daily life. Comprehensive spine care is available for a full range of conditions, including herniated or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, or nerve compression.

Treatment plans are customized to each patient’s needs and may begin with non-surgical approaches such as physical therapy, targeted exercise, medications, or injections to relieve pain and improve flexibility. When surgery is appropriate, advanced options like discectomy, laminectomy, or spinal fusion—often performed using minimally invasive spine surgery techniques—can help restore stability and reduce recovery time.

Expert spine specialists focus on relieving pain, enhancing mobility, and supporting long-term spine health so patients can return to work, recreation, and daily activities with comfort and confidence.

Inpatient Physical Therapy

Inpatient physical therapy plays a vital role in recovery following orthopedic surgery. Licensed therapists design personalized rehabilitation plans that begin shortly after surgery, focusing on regaining strength, flexibility, and balance.

Early therapy supports faster healing, reduces complications, and helps patients safely return to daily life. Whether recovering from joint replacement, spine surgery, or sports injury treatment, every patient benefits from comprehensive, hands-on support.

This approach reduces recovery time, improves heart function, and relieves symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath.
