Meet Journavx, Your Non-Opioid Pain Medication for Knee Replacements
At San Antonio Orthopædic Specialists, we’re redefining knee replacement recovery. Journavx helps patients manage pain after surgery, without relying on opioids.
Rethinking Recovery After Joint Replacement
After a hip or knee replacement, managing pain is one of the biggest concerns for patients. Traditionally, opioid medications were prescribed to control discomfort, but they often come with unwanted side effects like nausea, constipation, and fatigue.
At San Antonio Orthopaedic Specialists, our surgeons have spent years perfecting recovery protocols that keep patients moving, comfortable, and safe. Journavx represents the next step forward, providing powerful pain relief without opioids.
How Journavx Works
Journavx is a modern, non-opioid pain reliever designed to make recovery easier after joint replacement surgery. It targets the body’s pain pathways directly, reducing discomfort where it starts instead of relying on narcotics that affect the brain or digestion.
By incorporating Journavx into our recovery protocol, our team helps patients:
Experience less pain after surgery
Move sooner and begin therapy earlier
Avoid side effects like nausea or constipation
Reduce or eliminate the need for narcotic medication
why SAOS Uses Journavx
At SAOS, our focus is simple: help patients recover safely, comfortably, and confidently. Journavx supports that mission by delivering long-lasting, targeted pain control that allows for earlier mobility and a faster return home.

The Benefits of Non-Opioid Recovery
The use of non-opioid medications like Journavx marks a major advancement in orthopaedic recovery. It’s not just about controlling pain, it’s about helping patients heal faster, move sooner, and feel better throughout the recovery process.
At SAOS, patients who undergo knee replacement surgery with Journavx often experience:
Earlier mobility: Standing and walking within hours after surgery
Fewer side effects: Less nausea, dizziness, and fatigue
Faster discharge: Many patients return home the same day
Better outcomes: Improved comfort and range of motion
By minimizing the need for narcotics, Journavx helps patients avoid dependency risks while enjoying a smoother recovery with fewer complications. It’s one more way SAOS is redefining what recovery can look like: safe, comfortable, and built around your long-term wellness.
