What is Orthopaedics?

Orthopaedics is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions related to the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and spine. Whether it’s a sports injury, arthritis, fracture, or joint degeneration, orthopaedic care helps restore mobility, relieve pain, and improve quality of life.

At East Coast Hospitals, our ortho doctors in Pondicherry offer advanced, minimally invasive treatments and surgical interventions to help patients of all ages regain strength, movement, and independence.
