Orthopaedic Consultation

Orthopedic Treatment

Orthopedic bias at Minomax mainly focuses on conditions like back pain, neck pain, knee pain, and body pain in general. Not every patient walking into our OPD has a condition as clear as a tumor or requires immediate surgery. That’s why our approach is comprehensive and focused on patience.

When a patient presents with osteoporosis that is not immediately obvious, it is important to assess their medical history, lifestyle, metabolic requirements, body weight, age, and other possible health conditions. At Minomax, we not only assess the patient but also take the time to understand their family dynamics, which often play an important role in a patient's overall health.

We focus not only on the immediate situation; we treat the whole patient. For example, a patient may come in complaining of knee pain, but it may not be arthritis as originally thought. Discomfort is often caused by lifestyle factors such as climbing multiple stairs or lifting heavy objects daily. In such cases, we recommend lifestyle changes or muscle strengthening. One of the more important issues we encounter is the prevalence of osteoporosis, low calcium, and vitamin D levels—issues often overlooked by patients themselves.

Many people are unaware of the importance of sunlight exposure for maintaining adequate vitamin D levels or neglect regular checks for these essential nutrients. Dr. Ashwani Maichand and the Minomax team are vigilant in identifying and addressing these underlying causes, ensuring patients receive appropriate treatment rather than undergoing unnecessary investigations that waste time and money.

Back pain is another common complaint. However, not every back pain is caused by a slipped disc or requires surgery. In fact, only about five percent of our patients are advised to have surgery. Many cases involve general neglect of lifestyle and healthcare—issues that can often be addressed by simple changes to work environment, diet, and daily habits.

Unfortunately, health is often not a priority, especially for younger patients. Many cases of osteoporosis can be effectively managed or prevented through small changes in work schedule, diet, and overall lifestyle. However, it is important not to rely solely on information received online or via WhatsApp for treatment decisions.

Dr. Ashwani Maichand strongly recommends seeking professional advice whenever osteoporosis concerns arise. Proper diagnosis is key to effective treatment, helping you stay healthy and live a fulfilling life. At Minomax, our goal is to ensure that every patient receives care tailored to their unique circumstances and overall health, enabling them to enjoy the best quality of life possible.
