Geriatric Orthopedics
As we age, our bones and joints undergo natural changes, which can lead to a variety of orthopedic conditions. Geriatric orthopedics focuses on treating musculoskeletal issues in older adults, aiming to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall quality of life. At our clinic, Dr. Rajshekhar Sedamkar, an experienced Ortho Spine Joint Surgeon, provides specialized care for aging individuals, offering advanced treatments to manage age-related orthopedic issues and ensure that seniors maintain an active lifestyle.
Comprehensive Geriatric Orthopedic Services
We offer a full spectrum of geriatric orthopedic services, designed to address common aging-related conditions and help seniors regain or maintain their independence.
1. Osteoarthritis Treatment
Osteoarthritis is a common condition in older adults, leading to joint pain and stiffness. We provide non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, medications, and joint injections, as well as surgical interventions such as joint replacement for severe cases.
2. Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery
For older adults suffering from severe arthritis or joint degeneration, we offer hip and knee replacement surgeries. Our goal is to relieve pain, improve joint function, and restore mobility, allowing seniors to remain active and independent.
3. Fracture Management and Bone Healing
Fractures are more common in the elderly due to bone thinning (osteoporosis). We specialize in fracture care, using advanced techniques for faster healing, ensuring bones heal properly and restoring mobility.
4. Spinal Degeneration and Back Pain
Older adults often experience spinal degeneration or back pain due to wear and tear of the spine. We provide treatments such as physical therapy, postural correction, and surgical solutions, like spinal fusion, to relieve pain and improve mobility.
5. Osteoporosis Treatment
Osteoporosis, a condition where bones become weak and brittle, is common in the elderly. We offer a variety of treatments, including medication, calcium supplements, and bone-strengthening exercises, to reduce fracture risk and improve bone density.
6. Joint Injections and Minimally Invasive Procedures
For seniors with joint pain, we offer corticosteroid injections, hyaluronic acid injections, and other minimally invasive treatments to provide relief from arthritis and joint stiffness without the need for surgery.
7. Rheumatoid Arthritis Management
We provide comprehensive care for rheumatoid arthritis in older adults, using medications, physical therapy, and joint protection techniques to manage symptoms and prevent joint damage.
8. Fall Prevention and Balance Improvement
Falls are a significant risk for older adults. We offer balance training, fall prevention strategies, and home safety assessments to help seniors stay safe and maintain their independence.
9. Rehabilitation After Surgery or Injury
Post-surgery or injury rehabilitation is crucial for older adults. We offer personalized rehabilitation programs and physical therapy to improve strength, flexibility, and overall function, ensuring a smooth recovery process.
10. Hand and Wrist Conditions
Conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, and fractures are common in older adults. We provide treatment options, including bracing, joint injections, and surgery, to restore hand function and reduce pain.
