General Orthopedics
Orthopedics is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating patients who are dealing with injuries and conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. This complex system includes bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, cartilage, and connective tissue.

Osteoporosis is a common condition that affects a large number of people, particularly women. This bone disease causes bones to become fragile and brittle, which can increase the risk of fractures and other serious complications.
Unfortunately, osteoporosis often goes unnoticed until a person experiences a fracture or other related health issue. Therefore, it is important to take proactive measures to prevent and manage osteoporosis, such as maintaining a healthy diet that is rich in calcium and vitamin D, engaging in regular exercise, and quitting smoking if you are a smoker.
Rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic autoimmune disorder, affects millions of people around the world. This condition causes inflammation in the joints, leading to stiffness, pain, and swelling. While the exact cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown, genetic and environmental factors play a significant role.
The symptoms can worsen over time, making everyday tasks like brushing your teeth or opening a jar challenging. However, with proper diagnosis and treatment, it is possible to manage the symptoms, reduce joint damage, and improve the quality of life for those with rheumatoid arthritis.
Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic autoimmune condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is a type of arthritis that develops in a significant proportion of people who also suffer from psoriasis, a skin disease characterized by patches of red, itchy, and scaly skin.
Although the exact cause of psoriatic arthritis is not yet known, it is believed to be triggered by a combination of genetic, immune, and environmental factors. The condition can cause a range of symptoms, including joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and fatigue, which can interfere with daily life activities.
