Joint pain can affect knees shoulders hips hands and ankles. At OrthoCure Bone and Joint Speciality Clinic we look at the full picture before naming it arthritis. The goal is simple. Understand which joint is troubled, match treatment to the exact stage and keep you moving with the least medicine and lowest risk needed.
The same symptom can have many causes. A focused history examination and simple tests help separate wear and tear arthritis from inflammatory causes, tendon problems or referred pain.
For knee pain we look at body weight activity level and X rays where needed. Exercise and lifestyle change come first, medicines and physiotherapy next and injections or knee replacement are discussed only if they are truly likely to help.
Shoulder pain may come from rotator cuff tendons, frozen shoulder, arthritis or neck issues. Care focuses on pain control, targeted physiotherapy, injections when useful and clear guidance on when surgery is really required.
Pain in the hip lower back or foot may be due to arthritis, disc problems or alignment issues. The first task is to locate the true source. Plans then combine exercise, shoe advice, physiotherapy and medicine with referrals for injections or surgery when required.
This way most patients from Ambattur Avadi and Thirumullaivoyal can stay functional with fewer medicines and a better understanding of their joints.
Many joint problems improve once muscles are retrained and movements are corrected. Our in house physiotherapy service focuses on safe gradual progress rather than one size fits all protocols.
No. Tendon problems, ligament strain, bursitis, nerve issues and even problems from other organs can present as joint pain. A proper assessment is needed before naming it arthritis.
Not always. Many patients can be assessed clinically first and imaging is ordered only if it will change the plan. If you already have X rays or scans, bringing them is helpful.
Pain tablets are used as one tool among many. Exercise lifestyle change and physiotherapy are given equal or greater weight so that long term pill use is minimised.
