In the last decade alone, the incidenceof bone, joint and muscle-related ail-ments have increased over two-fold
in India. The reasons for such ailmentscould be many ranging from stretchedlifestyle, age-related, post-surgery, post-pregnancy and even following acci-dents.
There has been a perceptible gap inthe approach and delivery of treatmentfor these ailments. If at all any, theywere basic physiotherapy techniquesand equipments which were only ableto address the problem in small parts,but never a complete solution. Failingthis, surgery was the only resort.
What was conceived with a vision to
bridge this gap, has today evolved intothe city’s finest musculoskeletal well-ness centre called ‘BonSpero’, provid-ing focussed, proactive and preventivecare for your bones, joints and muscles.
BonSpero Functional Rehabilitationor BFR is an advanced methodology forthe treatment of musculoskeletal ail-
ments. BFR was developed after exten-sive research on the various best prac-tices, using the most sophisticatedequipments from across the world,along with the latest techniques on ev-idence-based medicine.
Adoption of this advanced method-ology coupled with personalization oftreatment protocols, gives patients apositive result and a fastersolution.They have a team of qualifieddoctors, rehabilitation specialists andphysiotherapists who engage with eachpatient and design a treatment programthat is customized to the needs and de-mands of the individual.
A satisfied clientele of over 3000 pa-
tients in the last few years is a goodenough testimonial for this new and ad-vanced concept of musculoskeletal well-ness and rehabilitation.
If you are looking for easy accessand reach to a cost-effective and quali-ty musculoskeletal healthcare for yourback and neck pain, joint pains and in-stability, nerve problems, BonSpero canbe your destination.

� What is Arthroscopy?Greek words, Arthro - joint, skopein- to look. It is a highly specializedsurgical procedure, where a tinyhigh definition camera lens andtiny precise instruments are insert-ed into the joint, to treat minor tomajor problems, through tiny inci-sions (Key-hole size), instead of thetraditional big, open, surgical inci-sions.� What are the other advantages
of Arthroscopy?The major advantanges arevery early re-habilitation,allowing the patients toget back to their routinemuch more quickly thanwith an open surgery, asthere is very little tissuedamage during the proce-dure. And, the very highmagnification offered by thecamera, allows the surgeon tovisualize the joint in muchgreater detail, and to treat the prob-lem very precisely than with the‘open approach’.� Which are the joints that areamenable for Arthroscopy ?The knee, shoulder, ankle, elbow,wrist and the hip can be arthro-scoped. With advances in technolo-gy, more joints will be amenable.� The problems commonly treat-ed with Arthroscopy ?The problems range from removal ofloose bodies to meniscal repairs,
knee ligament reconstructions (e.g.ACL & PCL), shoulder dislocations,Rotator cuff repair, cartilage repair,tennis elbow, shoulder stiffness, etc.� Which groups of patients bene-
fit from Arthroscopic surgery ?Arthroscopy, along with innovativerehabilitation techniques, has large-ly benefited the sportspersons, withtheir sports injuries, by helpingthem get back to play as early as pos-sible. This experience has now per-
colated down to all patientgroups, helping them to re-cover faster and aidingthem to get back to theirnormal routine, as early aspossible.� Where should the pa-tients, ideally, have thisprocedure done ?As this is a specializedprocedure, requiring
specialized equipment, itis important to have this done bysurgeons with specialist training inArthroscopy, at institutions that in-vest and support such specializedwork.

WHY FEAR OR WAIT TO SAY
GOODBYE TO SPECTACLES!!!
It is incredible but true that many pa-tients walk around semi blind eventhough it is possible to see well with
glasses, yet don’t wear them as they areeither shy to adorn or afraid to under-go any procedure. Contact lens use iscumbersome, involves recurrent ex-penditure and can result in corneal ul-cers if used indiscriminately. Hope thiswrite up will offer them a permanentsolution for correcting short sight, longsight and astigmatism and prefer not towear glasses or contacts says Dr Kan-thamani, the Medical Director of Krish-na Eye & ENT Hospitals.
LASIK [laser-assisted in situ ker-atomilieusis] treatment is simple, pain-less and it’s surprisingly fast taking lessthan a minute in each eye. Both eyes aretreated in the same sitting, says Dr. Kan-thamani,a pioneer in cataract phaco sur-gery and neuro-ophthalmology. The pa-tient can get back home immediately andresume work the next day.The treatmentis micron precise and safe. Most doctorsfeel that LASIK is a secure option for those
above the age of 18 years if selection ofcase is done with dis-cretion and the proce-dure is performed by aLASIK-trained expert.The doctor herself as-sures that LASIK offersyou an excellent, natu-ral, peripheral, cor-rected distant visionlifelong. The quality of vision is superi-or with LASIK as high order aberrationswhich affect contrast sensitivity is alsotaken care of.Many foreign patients turnto India as it is affordable and they trustour ethics and skills. Femto second laseris an “all laser LASIK” method with bet-ter results.
