- Nutritional CounselingThe Center for Bone and Joint Health offers a comprehensive approach that revolves around health and wellness. The Center offers preventative therapies, nutrition counseling and a full spectrum of non-invasive treatments that may completely eliminate the need for surgical options. But if surgery is ultimately needed, the Center’s wellness approach gets you back to a normal quality of life weeks sooner than with traditional options.
- Primary CarePatients are referred to the pain center by their primary care physician, neurosurgeon or orthopedic surgeon after other treatment modalities have been tried. Physical therapy is recommended prior to being considered for injections. Most pain conditions are best managed when combined with physical therapy or an exercise plan.
- Anxiety
- Orthopedics
- Joint ReplacementJoint replacement surgery may be necessary after non-surgical options have been exhausted for chronic conditions of the bones and joints. Our team of physicians, dietitians, nurses, and physical and occupational therapists are dedicated to all aspects of your care before, during, and after surgery.
- Hip ReplacementI can't thank Dr. Eric Gordon, his staff and the hospital staff working with the best practices every step of my surgery. I was relieved to be given classes, videos, and a comprehensive hip replacement guide that detailed everything for before, during, and after surgery. My pre-surgery appointments were all coordinated with precision and set up for me with ease. The hospital staff were second to none and treated me like royalty. They were courteous, caring, knowledgeable, skilled and cheerful professionals. They treated me with such dignity, answered my call bell quickly and taught me how to get in and out of bed, use the walker well etc. I continue to be followed post surgery. I will only go to Hunterdon Medical Center and Dr. Eric Gordon if I need the other hip done in the future or a knee, knowing I will have the best care. This was a big deal for me. A significant event in my life and I was treated as a big deal; amazing patient care.
- Knee ReplacementSince 2018, I have had two rotator cuff surgeries, plus a total knee replacement by Dr. Pollack of Mid-Jersey Orthopaedics in Flemington. Each of my surgeries have been very successful. I have every confidence in him and his skills as a surgeon. The prep for my recent knee replacement was thorough. I was encouraged to contact personnel if I had any questions or concerns. This past visit, as during the previous ones, the staff at Hunterdon Medical Center and Mid-Jersey Orthopaedics have been exceptional. I found each staff member to be not only extremely competent and professional, but also very caring. My family and I have lived in Hunterdon County for 45 years. The doctors and staff in these facilities have never let us down. I will forever be grateful for the excellent quality of life which was given back to me.
- Physical TherapyTypically joint replacement surgery is a one or two night stay in the hospital, but if the surgeon feels it is appropriate, a same day total joint replacement surgery may be an option. Upon discharge from the hospital, we offer outpatient physical therapy at several locations for your convenience. If in home physical therapy is necessary we offer services through Hunterdon Home Health. If you live a long distance from Hunterdon County we will assist you in finding accommodations close to home. In some cases, a short stay in a local in-patient rehabilitation facility is necessary. We will make sure your discharge needs are met and our staff will make all arrangements.
