Arthritis is a very common word we usually hear in our society. It is also known as “Gathiya or Bai” in local terminology. Arthritis is very popular but very few people know about its complications and painful condition of patients. Complaints of Joint pains/ Joint swelling/ Joint deformities are much more common symptoms than any other symptoms especially in this belt of Haryana. As Haryana & Punjab, both, are mainly agriculture-oriented lands so people are supposed to do heavy work in their fields, which leads to an increase in musculoskeletal problems like backache, joints pains, muscle pains, joint stiffness & deformities. Most patients are unaware of their disease & do not know how to proceed towards a perfect cure.
A Rheumatologist is a Specialist who takes care of Rheumatological Diseases. These are mainly immune-related disorders.
Dr Bharat Veer Manchanda is a Rheumatologist, Specialist in the field of the Musculoskeletal Problems (Arthritis, Joint pain and Joint deformities), is presently working in ABC Centre (Arthritis & Breast Care Centre), Kurukshetra covering all the patients from nearby districts like Ambala, Yamunanagar, Kaithal, Panchkula, Karnal, Panipat etc. He is the only Rheumatologist in this belt of Haryana, who is available round the clock on daily basis at ABC Centre.
The key thought is to facilitate the people of this belt so that the patients can visit easily and discuss their symptoms conveniently. Due to unavailability or lack of superspecialist doctors in this particular field, patients have to go to Delhi or Chandigarh for their treatment which is very troublesome for the whole family. To overcome these problems of patients, ABC Centre is giving full care to Rheumatology patients at Kurukshetra only.
