Bone & Joint Diseases

Technology has made our lives easier. Everything is accessible to us without much physical strain. The modern technology has led to sedentary life style which is the root cause of many orthopaedic diseases. Poor posture and obesity are directly correlated to the sedentary life style.

The causes of Orthopaedic diseases:

Trauma-

Accident or injury may cause fracture or predisposes to Osteo arthritis. Repeated minor trauma on same joint also leads to development of Osteo arthritis in same joint.

Chronic strain caused by over working of a joint-

It may lead to Osteo arthritis, spondylitis of affected vertebrae (cervical, dorsal or lumbar), bursitis, Achilles tendon etc.

Obesity-

Increased weight predisposes to arthritic changes of knee, ankle joint, hip joint, lumbar spondylitis etc.

Faulty posture-

Cervical spondylitis, dorsal spondylitis, lumbar spondylitis are common posture related disease.

Metabolic disorders-

Gout occurs due to deposition of uric acid crystals in small joints of hand and feet.

Hormonal imbalance-

Osteoporosis, Bursitis due to hyperthyroidism.

Occupational-

Tennis elbow, golfers elbow, bursitis, tendonitis etc

Infective diseases-

Rheumatic arthritis is caused by repeated streptococcal infections in childhood.

Immunological disorders-

Rheumatoid arthritis occurs as the misdirected immune system attacks the body's own tissues. This leads to inflammation in the joints.

We pay due importance to laboratory investigations and radiological findings as it helps in proper prognosis (to know the likely outcome of a particular case), diagnosis (the identification of a disease) and follow up (evaluate recovery during treatment).

Diet and exercise play a vital role in recovery from most joint and bone disorders. At Kushal Homeo Care patients are given proper dietary instructions. Emphasis is laid on regular exercise along with the homeopathic treatment.

Scope of Homeopathy:

The severe pain in joints will not be relieved by Homeopathic medicine instantaneously, but it will be permanently cured gradually. Patient won’t need to have any NSAIDs (Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs) or pain killers which on prolonged use cause side effects, in the mean time the disease gradually spreads and pain increases.
