Saket City Hospital Launches Exclusive ‘Shoulder Clinic’ in Delhi

Saket City Hospital's Shoulder Clinic has appointed a  panel of skilled physicians, to provide assistance in determining the best course of treatment in case of shoulder injuries. Shoulder and elbow experts at the clinic treat a range of shoulder and elbow conditions, including shoulder replacement surgery, shoulder instability, rotator cuff tears, rotator cuff tendonitis, shoulder arthritis, and fractures of the collarbone and shoulder blade.

Also speaking on the occasion, Dr. Gaurav Bhardwaj, Head of Unit, Orthopedics & Joint Replacement, Saket City Hospital said, “90 percent of patients with shoulder pain will respond to simple treatment methods such as altering activities, rest, exercise, and medication. The first step in treatment is to reduce pain and swelling (inflammation) with rest, ice and anti-inflammatory medicines followed by gentle exercises. If these measures fail to relieve pain, injections or surgery may be required”.

Disorders and injuries of the shoulder are not limited to only sports people. A lot of people suffer from common shoulder conditions they are unaware of and tend to dismiss shoulder pains as being unimportant. But it is vital to have these conditions looked in earlier by shoulder specialists to avoid more serious problems later on like impingement leading to muscle/tendon tear.
