Diagnosis and conventional treatment
An orthopaedic doctor, rheumatologist or physician may use examination, X-ray, MRI and blood tests. Conventional care includes physiotherapy, exercise, weight management, pain relief, joint-specific medicines and, in some cases, surgery.
Scope and limitations of a homeopathic consultation
A homeopathic consultation with Dr. Jain is an opportunity to discuss your history, symptoms and lifestyle in an unhurried setting. Homeopathy has not been shown by reliable scientific evidence to be effective for treating joint & back discomfort or any other specific medical condition. It should not replace a diagnosis, investigations or treatment from a qualified conventional doctor, and you should never stop prescribed medicines without medical advice.
What the consultation involves
You will be asked about your concern, its history, your medical background, and current medicines. Please bring recent reports. Where appropriate Dr. Jain may advise investigations or a specialist opinion, and you will discuss follow-up guidance before leaving. See the full consultation process.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Physiotherapy and prescribed medicines should usually continue.
Your doctor can advise. Please bring any scans you already have.
