Arthritis and osteoporosis are chronic musculoskeletal conditions that can progressively limit movement, reduce independence, and affect overall quality of life if not addressed early. At Dr. John Arthur Ortho Clinic & Hospital, Avadi, we provide comprehensive arthritis and osteoporosis care in Chennai, with a strong emphasis on early detection, accurate diagnosis, and personalised treatment planning.
Under the expert care of Dr. Peter Ponniah Jesudass, Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon, patients benefit from evidence-based, holistic management tailored to their age, lifestyle, severity of disease, and functional needs. Our approach includes clinical evaluation, imaging, and bone health assessment to identify the condition at its earliest stage and prevent further joint damage or bone loss.
Treatment plans focus on pain control, improving joint mobility and strength, slowing disease progression, and reducing fracture risk. This may include medication optimisation, physiotherapy, lifestyle and nutritional guidance, fall-prevention strategies, and long-term monitoring. For advanced cases, timely referral for interventional or surgical options is also considered.
Our goal is not just symptom relief, but restoring mobility, preserving independence, and ensuring long-term joint and bone health, enabling patients to lead active and confident lives.
Arthritis is a broad term used to describe inflammation and degeneration of one or more joints. It commonly leads to pain, stiffness, swelling, and restricted movement, gradually affecting a person’s ability to perform daily activities. Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory joint disorders can cause progressive cartilage damage, joint deformity, and functional limitation if not managed appropriately.
Osteoporosis, on the other hand, is a silent but serious condition characterised by reduced bone mass and deterioration of bone quality, making bones fragile and prone to fractures even after minor falls or trauma. It most commonly affects the spine, hip, and wrist and often remains undetected until a fracture occurs.
Although arthritis and osteoporosis are distinct conditions, they frequently coexist, especially in older adults. Chronic joint pain and stiffness from arthritis can limit physical activity, which in turn accelerates bone loss and worsens osteoporosis. Similarly, weak bones increase the risk of fractures around arthritic joints, complicating treatment and recovery.
Effective management therefore requires a coordinated and comprehensive approach, addressing both joint health and bone strength. Early recognition, regular assessment, and tailored treatment are essential to reduce pain, maintain mobility, prevent fractures, and preserve independence, ensuring better long-term musculoskeletal health.
Patients from Avadi, Ambattur, Mogappair, Poonamallee, and nearby areas seek timely care to prevent complications.
Arthritis treatment focuses on reducing pain, preserving joint movement, and improving daily function. Our approach is conservative-first, with surgery considered only when required.
These methods are effective in managing early to moderate arthritis and delaying the need for surgery.
When arthritis severely affects mobility and quality of life, surgical intervention may be advised.
All surgical decisions are made after detailed discussion, ensuring patients understand benefits, risks, and recovery expectations.
Effective osteoporosis management aims to strengthen bones, reduce fracture risk, and maintain independence.
Special attention is given to elderly patients to minimise the risk of hip, spine, and wrist fractures.
Patients with arthritis often also have weak bones. At our Avadi orthopaedic hospital, treatment plans are carefully balanced to protect joints while strengthening bones, especially before and after any surgical procedures.
This integrated approach improves long-term outcomes and reduces the risk of complications.
Early intervention plays a key role in slowing disease progression
