Common Orthopedic Problems

Knee Pain
Knee pain is a common condition which affects both young and old. Age, activity level, onset of symptoms, type of symptoms, location of symptoms, and the presence or absence of an injury are all important factors in determining a patient's diagnosis. Consult an Apollo Bangalore Orthopedist for knee problems.

Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is a common problem treated by Orthopedist. Problems range from simple sprains to rotator cuff problems, arthritis, or shoulder instability. Rotator cuff problems constitute the most frequent cause of shoulder pain seen by the orthopedist. The list can include rotator cuff tendonitis, a condition known as impingement syndrome, or actual tears of the rotator cuff tendon.

Back Pain
Back pain affects millions of people every day. Etiologies of back pain are numerous and range from simple strains and sprains to herniated discs, arthritis, or other conditions. Most back pain is muscular and mechanical in origin and the vast majority can be managed non-operatively. The use of anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, cortisone injections or what is termed epidural steroid injections take care of most complaints. Consult an Apollo Bangalore Orthopedics for back pain problems.

Arthritis
Arthritis is a common condition which is prevalent in the population. Arthritis can be inflammatory but is more often degenerative in nature. Osteoarthritis or degenerative arthritis is a very common condition. It can occur in the knees, hips, shoulders, hands, neck, back, or essentially any joint in the body. Arthritis literally means inflammation of the joint. In reality, the articular cartilage of the joint, which can be likened to a teflon coating on the ends of bones, can wear down over time with repetitive use. When this cartilage wears down it is similar to the wearing down of a tread on a tire. As the cartilage wears down it causes inflammation in the joint. Eventually the cartilage can be worn down completely. For more information, please consult an Apollo Bangalore Orthopedist.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common conditions of the hand seen by an Orthopedist. Carpal tunnel syndrome refers to a condition in which a nerve, specifically the median nerve, is entrapped within a normal anatomic tunnel through which it travels. As pressure builds up around the nerve, it causes symptoms which consist of pain in the thumb, index and long finger of the corresponding hand.
