Bengaluru: People Tree Hospitals located at Chris, Kalyan Nagar, launched an Advanced Shoulder Centre on Sunday, December 24. The new centre is a dedicated platform for addressing all shoulder problems.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Lokesh Veerappa said, “The shoulder has remained an enigma for decades not just to patients but to even Orthopaedic Surgeons here in India, despite the advances in the West in the management of shoulder problems. There are very few centres in India dedicated to address this sub-specialty. With the advent of the desk jobs wherein people sit in front of computers for long hours, newer issues of the shoulder are cropping up related to overuse and posture. With increased interests in our country towards sports, the injuries of the shoulder has increased manifold.”
He added that with the increased life expectancy, degenerative shoulder problems are on the rise. “We take delight in launching our Advanced Shoulder Centre, which encompasses an integrated approach to shoulder injuries involving Orthopaedic Surgeons, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Yoga therapists. On the launch on December 24 at 10 am, we are bringing to the people a #Shoulder talk which encompasses many shoulder injuries and Physiotherapy sessions for the general public about maintaining shoulder health. This was followed by free consultations for shoulder problems for general public,” he said.
