Treating shoulder problems at the right time is the key to get back to active lifestyle and movements- Dr Apoorva Patwardhan
Earlier many people used to carry on with their shoulder problems. But today people are more aware as they want to get back to their full-fledged active routine. Common conditions with which people present to us include frozen shoulder, problems arising with age, rotator cuff tear , dislocation during sports injuries amongst others. If the pain does not subside after basic medication, it is important to consult a shoulder specialist. Delayed diagnosis or ignoring the pain may result in muscle tear or other complications where surgery may be the only option. Therefore it is important to diagnose and treat shoulder problems as soon as possible said Dr. Apoorva Patwardhan .
He added that shoulder is one branch which needs clinical examination by clinician which is key to diagnose the problem. This will be supported by state-of-the-art facilities at Joshi Hospital like Radiology Department, surgical facilities and physiotherapy department.
