Osteoarthritis
Natural joint lubrication therapies, muscle strengthening, and cartilage support to relieve joint pain and stiffness.
Osteoarthritis Management: Restoring Joint Function & Mobility
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease worldwide — a degenerative condition where the protective cartilage covering joint surfaces gradually wears away, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of function. It most commonly affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine.
At Ayurgreen Hospital, we provide the most comprehensive, integrated approach to osteoarthritis management available. Our program moves beyond simple pain relief to address the underlying joint health, muscle strength, movement quality, and systemic inflammation that drive OA.
Our unique advantage is the combination of modern orthopedic expertise, advanced physiotherapy including our Huber 360 and hydrotherapy pool, and Kerala Ayurveda's exceptional joint-healing therapies — particularly Kizhi, Pizhichil, Janu Basti, and powerful anti-inflammatory Ayurvedic formulations that provide deep, lasting relief unavailable from conventional treatment alone.
Osteoarthritis Conditions We Manage
Expert medical and surgical management for all grades and locations of osteoarthritis.
Knee Osteoarthritis (Gonarthrosis)
The most common form of OA, causing knee pain, stiffness, and reduced walking ability. Non-surgical management with targeted physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, Janu Basti, and PRP injections — and surgical management with total knee replacement when indicated.
Hip Osteoarthritis & Coxarthrosis
Hip OA causing groin/buttock pain, reduced hip range of motion, and limping. Conservative management with physiotherapy and Ayurveda, and hip replacement surgery (THR) when conservative measures are insufficient.
Spinal Osteoarthritis & Spondylosis
Facet joint OA and spondylosis causing neck and back pain, stiffness, and sometimes nerve compression. Comprehensive management with manual therapy, Kati Basti, exercise therapy, and targeted injections.
Comprehensive Osteoarthritis Care
Integrated OA management addressing joint health, muscle strength, pain, and systemic inflammation for lasting relief.
Targeted Physiotherapy & Exercise Therapy
Exercise is the most powerful non-surgical treatment for OA. Our physiotherapy program strengthens the muscles surrounding affected joints (particularly quadriceps for knee OA), improves joint flexibility, corrects movement patterns that accelerate joint damage, and uses manual therapy for immediate pain relief and improved range of motion. The Huber 360 provides excellent, joint-friendly strength and balance training.
Ayurvedic Joint-Healing Therapies
Kerala Ayurveda offers the most comprehensive natural approach to joint health available. Janu Basti (knee) and Kati Basti (spine) — medicated oil retention in specially constructed frames — directly nourish joint cartilage and reduce inflammation. Pizhichil (warm oil bath) reduces systemic inflammation. Kizhi (herbal bundle massage) improves circulation and reduces joint stiffness. Guggul formulations are powerful natural anti-inflammatories with significant research evidence.
Hydrotherapy for OA
Our hydrotherapy pool and AquaCiser III underwater treadmill provide an ideal environment for OA rehabilitation — allowing exercise with dramatically reduced joint loading. Water-based exercise is particularly effective for obese OA patients and those with severe pain that prevents land-based exercise. Warm water reduces joint pain and stiffness, enabling better movement and more effective exercise.
Joint Injections & Pain Management
Targeted joint injections including corticosteroid injections for severe inflammatory flare-ups, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for cartilage health and natural pain relief, and Hyaluronic Acid (viscosupplementation) injections for joint lubrication. Total joint replacement surgery (TKR/THR) is offered when conservative measures are insufficient.
Advanced OA Treatment Capabilities
Comprehensive technology for natural, lasting osteoarthritis relief and joint health preservation.
Hydrotherapy Pool (AquaCiser III)
Warm-water exercise with dramatically reduced joint loading — the ideal environment for OA physiotherapy, enabling exercise for patients too painful for land-based treatment.
Huber 360 Functional Training
Joint-friendly, whole-body strengthening and balance training on the Huber 360 platform — building the muscle strength essential for joint protection in OA.
Janu Basti & Pizhichil
Direct joint nourishment through Janu Basti medicated oil retention and systemic anti-inflammatory benefit from Pizhichil — Ayurveda's most powerful interventions for OA.
PRP & Viscosupplementation
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections for cartilage health and Hyaluronic Acid injections for joint lubrication — natural biological interventions extending joint life before surgery.
Joint Replacement Surgery
Total Knee and Hip Replacement surgery when conservative measures are insufficient, performed by expert orthopedic surgeons with immediate post-operative rehabilitation.
