Abstract
Osteoarthritis of the knee is a global scourge. Treatment ranges from cumbersome conservative measures with too many drugs with undesirable side effects, to aggressive knee replacements which still remain elusive to an average Indian. Can we provide hope to these patients and offer them a dignified existence?
In a study conducted over 100 patients in my hospital since 1998, I have devised a very effective treatment option, a new integrated therapy incorporating Yoga and a few alternative systems. Apart from offering to combat associated problems like diabetes, hypertension, obesity, osteoporosis etc it has lessened the amount of medications used for their treatment.
