Painful hips can make even the simplest steps feel hard. 👣

In this SWM Ortho patient story, local professional photographer, Mari Maloney, shares how hip arthritis affected her walking, work, and daily comfort - and how Dr. Nicholas Loafman, DO, and the team at Southwest Michigan Center for Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine helped her get back on her feet - and back working with clients in her studio - after undergoing anterior hip replacement surgery.

Mari was up, walking, and working with PT and OT the same day, with less pain and no restrictions from the anterior approach. That’s the kind of patient-centered care we strive to provide every day. 💙

There’s nothing more meaningful than hearing directly from patients about the care they received and the progress they’ve made.

In this Google ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ testimonial, one person shares positive feedback about hip replacement surgery with Dr. Sohn and the Southwest Michigan Center for Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine care team:

"Dr. Sohn and the entire team at the practice and hospital pre/post hip replacement surgery were amazing …
One week post op I was able to resume 8000+ steps per day and recumbent bike 12 miles x 5 days a week with minimal discomfort. I can’t express my gratitude for this wonderful care I have received. You will be hard pressed to find a better team to get you on your feet in short order. Do not hesitate to place your trust in these people as they are the best!"

Hip pain can limit movement, independence, and everyday life - but expert orthopaedic care can help patients take the next step toward relief and mobility.

Hip pain shouldn’t decide how far you can walk, how well you sleep, or what activities you get to enjoy.

If hip arthritis is causing any of the following, it may be time to learn whether total hip replacement could be the right next step:
☑️ Hip arthritis causes ongoing pain and stiffness
☑️ Walking, sleeping, or daily activities are limited
☑️ Non-surgical treatments (medications, injections, physical therapy) no longer help
☑️Hip pain interferes with work, exercise, or independence

For many patients, hip replacement can be life-changing, helping restore comfort, improve mobility, and support a more active, independent lifestyle.
