- Osteoporosis
- ArthritisRheumatoid Arthritis: This is an auto-immune disease in which the body's immune system (the body's way of fighting infection) attacks healthy joints, tissues and organs. Occurring most often in women of childbearing age (15-44), this disease inflames the lining (or synovium) of joints. It can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of function in joints. When severe, rheumatoid arthritis can deform or change a joint. For example, the joints in a person's finger can become deformed, causing the finger to bend or curve.
- Emergency CareOrthopedic urgent care is focused on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of injuries and disorders of the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments - usually within 24 hours.
- Pregnancy
- Labor and DeliveryTransient osteoporosis of the hip is a rare condition that causes bone loss temporarily in the upper part of the thighbone (femur). It is mostly found in young or middle-aged men between the ages of 30 and 60, and women in their later stages of pregnancy or early postpartum period (following childbirth).
- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeCarpal tunnel syndrome is a common, painful, progressive condition that is caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist area.
- Depression
- UltrasoundYour doctor will first draw about 10 cc’s of blood from the large vein in your elbow. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge machine for about 10 to 15 minutes to separate the platelets from the remaining blood components. The injured part of your body is then anesthetized with a local anesthetic. The platelet-rich portion of your blood is then injected into your affected area. In some cases, your doctor may use ultrasound guidance for proper needle placement.
- MRIYour surgeon reviews your medical history and performs a physical examination of your shoulder to assess the extent of mobility and pain. Imaging tests such as X-ray or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are ordered.
- X-Rays
- Computed TomographyThe goal of total knee replacement surgery is to relieve pain and restore the alignment and function of your knee. Robotic assisted utilises X-rays and CT scans to determine the damaged areas of the joint that need to be removed for the precise placement of the knee implant. Then, the damaged portions of the femur bone are cut at appropriate angles using specialised jigs. The femoral component is attached to the end of the femur with or without bone cement.

- NeurosurgeryThese conditions may be treated with conservative methods or with neurosurgeries. Hand peripheral nerve surgery aims at restoring the motor and sensory nerve functions of your arm. The surgeries are indicated for peripheral nerve tumours, peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome and peripheral nerve injuries that have caused severe weakness or numbness and have not improved with conservative treatment.
- ArthroscopyArthroscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and surgical procedure performed for joint problems. Shoulder arthroscopy is performed using a pencil-sized instrument called an arthroscope. The arthroscope consists of a light system and camera to project images onto a computer screen for your surgeon to view the surgical site. Arthroscopy is used to treat disease conditions and injuries involving the bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and muscles of the shoulder joint.
- Hip ReplacementHip arthritis is one of the painful and common diseases of the hip joint caused by damage to the cartilage. Total hip replacement surgery is an option to relieve severe arthritis pain that limits your daily activities.
- Knee ReplacementTotal knee replacement, also called total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the worn out or damaged surfaces of the knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial parts.
- Knee ArthroscopyKnee Arthroscopy is a common surgical procedure performed using an arthroscope, a viewing instrument, to diagnose or treat a knee problem. It is a relatively safe procedure and most of the patients are discharged from the hospital on the same day of surgery.
- Rashes
- PsoriasisPsoriatic arthritis: This form of arthritis occurs in some persons with psoriasis, a scaling skin disorder, affecting the joints at the ends of the fingers and toes. It can also cause changes in the fingernails and toenails. Back pain may occur if the spine is involved.
- Sports MedicineSports injuries occur when playing indoor or outdoor sports or while exercising. They can result from accidents, inadequate training, improper use of protective devices, or insufficient stretching or warm-up exercises. The most common sports injuries are sprains and strains, fractures and dislocations.
- Physical TherapySurgery may be recommended in patients with severe cartilage damage and if conservative treatment options such as anti-inflammatory medications and physical therapy do not relieve the symptoms.
- Occupational TherapyThe non-surgical treatment options include rest, medications including analgesics and antibiotics, injections, and physical/occupational therapy.
- Frozen ShoulderShoulder Instability: this occurs when the head of the upper arm bone slips out of the socket of the shoulder blade’s glenoid cavity either due to injury or overuse
- Shoulder Pain
- Back Pain
- Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy
- Ankle SprainFoot and ankle injuries include the injuries in the leg below the knee, and they are common in athletes and while playing sports such as football, hockey and skating. Common sports injuries to the foot and ankle include sprains and strains, ankle fractures, and Achilles tendinitis. Treatment for these conditions may include orthotics, braces, physical therapy, injections or surgery.
