New Delhi, Nov: Arthritis and wear and tear of joints may be unavoidable as we grow older, but with little steps, precaution and some remedial measures it is possible to retain movement and maintain good quality of life. This was the message sent by a unique ?Patient Awareness Forum? conducted by Dr Rajeev K Sharma, Senior Consultant, Joint Replacement, Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi.
The ?Joint Patients Forum? is a unique initiative that brings together patients, doctors and people who have undergone joint replacement procedures to discuss their concerns, share their successes and clarify their doubts with experts.
The Forum has been organized to mark 6000 successful joint replacement procedures conducted by Dr Sharma. The doctor will hold an open house with people suffering from joint ailments and offer his expert advice to them on how not to allow joint ailments hijack your life.
The forum will also be attended by patients going through the recovery phase of a joint replacement surgery and will get a chance to share their experiences with others while seeking doctors? advice on how to manage their body post a replacement surgery.
Dr Sharma, the man behind the idea of the awareness meet, says this platform is an effort to advise patients who are suffering from joint ailments and help those who have undergone joint replacement surgeries live as normal a life as possible.
?Osteoarthritis or age-related wear and tear of joints is inevitable. In some people it happens faster, in fortunate ones it happens relatively slowly. We want to educate people that with healthy lifestyle, weight control and regular exercise this wear and tear can be slowed down. Arthritic joints should not mean an end to productive life. Sometimes arthritis can be managed with medication and lifestyle changes, but when symptoms do not improve with nor-surgical interventions, joint replacement surgery should be considered seriously,? says Dr Sharma.
A team of doctors and physiotherapists will give lectures on exercise regimen, facts about arthritis, the right diet to follow, and about taking care of muscles and ligaments to keep joints fit. The forum is also open to people who are interested in seeking advice on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent joint-related problems.
Nov 29th, 2015 at Magnolia Hall, India Habitat Centre from 11.00 am.
