For severe concussions, we work closely with other AHN specialists including speech therapists and neurologists. Find out more about our Concussion Center.

During the procedure, the physician uses a robotic arm to place the new joint in precisely the right spot. Many people achieve much-needed relief within hours of their procedure.
