Orthopaedic and musculoskeletal care, Chennai
Specialist assessment for joint pain, back and neck problems, sports injuries and fractures. A precise diagnosis first. Then a plan built around the movements that matter to you.
Six areas of care, each with a guide to how it's assessed, the options a specialist may discuss and what recovery involves. All conditions
Choose an area of the body to see how it works, the common reasons people have it assessed, and where to read more. This is general information, not a way to diagnose a problem.
Seven small vertebrae support the head and allow it to turn, tilt and nod. Nerves leave the neck to supply the shoulders, arms and hands.
A ball-and-socket joint with the widest range of movement in the body. A group of tendons called the rotator cuff keeps the ball centred in its shallow socket.
Five large lumbar vertebrae carry much of the body's weight, cushioned by discs. Nerves from this area travel down into the legs.
A deep ball-and-socket joint that bears weight with every step. Hip problems are often felt in the groin, and sometimes in the thigh or knee.
A hinge joint between the thigh and shin bones, stabilised by ligaments and cushioned by two menisci. The kneecap glides in a groove at the front.
The ankle joint connects the leg to the foot, supported by ligaments on each side. The Achilles tendon joins the calf muscles to the heel.
Severe injury, a deformed limb, or sudden weakness or numbness? Don't use this explorer. Call 112 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Scans and diagrams help a specialist understand the problem. Your plan is measured by something simpler: what you can do. These are examples of goals people bring to a first consultation.
A walk to the shops or round the park without stopping to rest.
Read: Mobility and rehabilitationOften the first thing people notice when a knee or hip is struggling.
Read: Knee and joint painLifting a bag onto a high shelf without a catch in the shoulder.
Read: Sports injuriesPicking up a child, a suitcase or the weekly shopping.
Read: Back and neck painA morning run, a weekend match or a game of badminton.
Read: Sports injuriesGetting up from a low sofa without pushing on the armrests.
Read: Arthritis and joint careTell the specialist what you want to get back to. It shapes every decision that follows.
Drag along the scale, or choose a stage, to see what usually happens at each step of a specialist consultation.
Gather previous scans and reports, list your medicines and note when the problem started. Wear clothing that lets the area be examined.
Tip Bring images on disc or as files, plus the written reports.
The specialist asks how the problem began, what makes it better or worse and how it affects your work, sport and daily life.
Tip Say what you most want to get back to. It shapes the plan.
Movement, strength, stability and walking are checked, often compared with the other side, and explained as they go.
Tip You can ask to pause or to have any test explained.
X-ray, ultrasound or MRI is suggested only when the result would change what happens next.
Tip Ask what the scan is looking for and how it will change the plan.
Findings are explained in plain words, and options are discussed from the least invasive upwards, with benefits and risks.
Tip There's no need to decide on the day.
Exercise, rehabilitation and review dates are agreed, with milestones so you can see progress.
Tip Ask who to contact if things don't go to plan.
Good orthopaedic care is as much about what isn't done as what is. Every recommendation should be explained, and you should know the alternatives.
About the practiceEvery plan starts with understanding what's causing the problem, not with a procedure.
Exercise-based and non-surgical options are discussed first. Surgery is explained honestly when it is the right option.
Scans are requested when the result will change your care, not routinely.
Recovery plans have milestones, and progress is measured by what you can do.
Every profile lists qualifications, registration and clinical focus, verified before publication. Meet the specialists

A few things make the first visit far more useful. Bring them with you rather than sending them online.
Full patient guide and checklistA real clinic would explain whether it accepts self-referrals. Many orthopaedic clinics see patients directly as well as on referral from a family doctor.
Yes, if you have them. Bring X-rays, MRI or CT images on disc or as files, plus the written reports. Please don't upload them to this website.
No. The explorer and condition pages explain anatomy and common concerns in general terms. Only an examination can assess your situation.
Most musculoskeletal problems are managed without surgery. When surgery is an option, the specialist explains why, what's involved and the alternatives.
For a severe injury, an obviously deformed limb, or sudden weakness or numbness, don't wait for an appointment. Call 112 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Try the three-step request. On the live site, the clinic replies to confirm a time and anything to bring. In this demo, nothing is sent.
Published once confirmed by the clinic. Nothing here is invented.
