What we treat?
We offer a treatment for wide range of bone and musculoskeletal disorders.
- Osteoarthritis (OA): Osteoarthritis is a type of joint disease that results from breakdown of joint cartilage and underlying bone. The most common symptoms are joint pain and stiffness. It occurs most often in knees, hips, lower back and neck, small joints of the fingers and the bases of the thumb and big toe.
- Avascular Necrosis: Avascular necrosis is the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply that occurs when there is loss of blood to the bone.
- Inter vertebral disc prolapse: A prolapsed intervertebral disc is a technical term for what is commonly called as slipped disc. These discs are placed between each of the vertebrae of the spine and pose as shock absorbers. A slipped prolapsed disc can also be a reason for severe lower back pain.
- Back pain: A problem in any part of your spine can cause back pain. It is a painful condition affecting the lower portion of the spine.
- Spondylosis: Spondylosis is a degenerative condition that can affect any region of the spine such as spine's intervertebral discs (e.g., degenerative disc disease) and facet joints. It may worsen as a person grows older.
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA): Rheumatoid arthritis is a long-term autoimmune disorder that primarily affects joints. It typically results in warm, swollen, and painful joints. Pain and stiffness often worsen following rest. Most commonly, the wrist and hands are involved, with the same joints typically involved on both sides of the body.
