As they say, “Where there is a joint there is Pain”.
Well according to some this might not be a saying but the fact that joint
involves pain is very true. Where do you usually go when you feel a pain in the
joint or muscle? The answer and the solution lie with the Rheumatologist. Now
let’s define “A Rheumatologist”. A Rheumatologist is someone who specializes in
dealing with non-surgical treatment of rheumatic illnesses, especially
arthritis. Dr. Pradeepta Sekhar Patro is the best Rheumatologist Bhubaneswar, providing comprehensive general medical care to patients suffering
from rheumatological diseases. He is a well-known specialist of common diseases
which include osteoarthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing
spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, lupus and vasculitis, etc.
Let us look at some cases how Rheumatic Diseases
have occurred in India:
With an overwhelming population of more than 130
Crores, India still is in its nascent stage as far as rheumatic diseases are
considered. A study done in 1990 in a suburban area near Delhi found out that
there was a prevalence of 8.5% for musculoskeletal complaints, amongst 44000
people. There have also been some cases of Non- Specific Musculoskeletal
complaints which accounted for 2.07% and Osteoarthritis (1.89%).
The most prevalent rheumatic problems were
non-specific musculoskeletal complaints (4.25%-6.25%), osteoarthritis
(4.39%-6.25%, of which knee osteoarthritis comprised 3.34%-4.42%) and soft
tissue rheumatism 1.31%-3.77%. Inflammatory rheumatic diseases had a prevalence
of less than 1% each (rheumatoid arthritis 0.34%-0.67%, undifferentiated
inflammatory arthritis 0.22%-0.76%, spondyloarthritis 0.23%-0.3%, gout
0.04%-0.13% and lupus 0.02%).
Looking at these figures one can easily figure out
that one of the major problems that lurk in individuals of today is
non-specific musculoskeletal rheumatic problems. Bhubaneswar is one of the
smart cities of the future needs individuals who can work day and night to get
it featured on the world map. But it comes at an extravagant cost which
sometimes tends to affect your way of life. So, time to get up your seats and
head to the best joint pain doctor in BBSR. Try to avoid the damage by reaching
out to the nearest clinic.
