      Fibromyalgia is a condition where one can experience pain in the whole body, especially in the mornings, and difficulty moving and working. It's widespread muscle pain and tenderness. The most common symptoms are that people may experience abdominal, back or neck pain, fatigue, tiredness, or malaise. There's joint pain, muscle stiffness, headaches, poor sleep, anxiety, and depression. At Starcare Hospital, our Ortho Specialists follow a multi-disciplinary pain management system to prevent further progression of the condition. Pain can come from any physical activity, an injury or after surgery. Our Ortho Specialists prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, nerve pain medication and muscle relaxants.

      Arthritis is an inflammation in one or more joints, causing pain and stiffness that can worsen with age. A weak immune system or a metabolic condition may cause it. Symptoms like pain and, swelling, stiffness in joints are seen. Our Orthopedic Doctors diagnose people suffering from arthritis with MRI scans and ultrasounds to help identify Rheumatoid Arthritis in the early stages. Treatments include medicines like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, joint injections, weight reduction, exercise, and surgery. Our Orthopedist, Dr Sreejith, at Starcare Hospital, Calicut, suggests personalized treatment options resulting in efficacy.

      Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become weak, and many people won't have any symptoms until they have a bone fracture. Some may get this due to calcium deficiency which leads to lower back pain, hip pain and loss of height.

      Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine. People might have a curved posture and difficulty sitting, standing and walking. Humpbacks are a sign of Scoliosis. Our doctors recommend the treatment option with medications such as Vitamin and Calcium supplements, following a healthy diet and exercises to strengthen the bones, which aids in reducing ortho problems due to Osteoporosis, Scoliosis, and Humpbacks. Ortho surgery is recommended when medications do not result in effective recovery.

      Sports injuries commonly occur during sports or exercises, primarily affecting the shoulder, ankle, and knees. It causes tennis elbow, Sciatica, sprains, dislocations and Fracture. It is mainly due to poor training methods that lead to muscle tendons and ligament weakness. Our Ortho Specialists recommend treatment starting with the diagnosis of sports injury, performed using X-ray, CT scan, and MRI scan to identify the type of injury and its treatment for the betterment of ortho health condition. People with ortho problems are instructed to do balance exercises, core stabilization and strengthening for quicker recovery. Our specialists prescribe medications such as anti-inflammatory drugs and injections to reduce swelling. Depending on the medicine's efficacy and the progression of ortho health, our doctors recommend surgeries for complete recovery. Our hospital has world-class facilities to perform Ortho Surgeries for correcting fractures.

      Our Orthopedist, Dr Sreejith, has high experience performing total joint replacement surgeries at our hospital in Calicut.

      Some of the common conditions include Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, fractures, pain in the foot, neck, hip, knee and shoulders, Osteoporosis, and Scoliosis and sports-related injuries.

      You must visit an Orthopaedic Specialist if you have joint or bone pain, if the pain lasts for two to three weeks, if it disrupts your daily activity, or if it does not recover after over-the-counter medications.

      Some of the common treatments for arthritis and joint pain include medications, lifestyle changes, or surgery.

      Knee Replacement Surgery is recommended if the knees are completely deteriorated due to injuries or other causes. The surgery is done to reduce the pain, regain mobility and improve bodily functions.

      Sport injuries occur due to overuse of bones and muscles, falls, wrong training methods, and collisions. Some of the injuries include sprains, tennis elbow, tinnitus, fractures and dislocations.

      The treatment depends on the type, location and severity of the injury and on whether a person needs non-surgical or surgical options.

      With strong medical expertise and advanced surgical techniques, patients are assured of the best treatment and care from our orthopaedic specialists.

      It takes about 6 to 12 months to fully recover from a Joint Replacement Surgery, although you can return to your daily activities within a few weeks.

      Yes. We are proud to say that we have completed South India’s first VR (Virtual Reality) Assisted Endoscopic Spine Surgery at Starcare Calicut. This is a minimally invasive, fast-healing procedure done on the spine to treat nerve compressions and structural problems.

      Starcare is committed to achieve highest level of quality through professionalism, innovation and ethical practices in every aspect of patient care. Every employee in Starcare will strive to achieve this by active planning, continuous improvement and team work. View More
