Surgery-less Treatment
-
- April 18, 2021
Yes it is true and a proven fact that the SPARRC team has gotten people rid of their aches & pains without the embarking of a scary and painful journey, surgery!
Dr.Kannan Pugazhendi , the institute’s beacon has shed light onto the otherwise gloomy patients who walk into the sports medicine centre weighed down with the thought that surgery is the only solution to their persisting or acute pain. Sounds unbelievable, isn’t it, but it is very much true.
Condition Surgeries avoided
- IVDP – Discectomy, Laminectomy
- Arthritis – Joint replacements
- Ligament injury – Reconstruction surgeries
- Avascular necrosis – Partial replacements
- Radiculopathy – Spinal stabilization surgery
- Spasticity – Soft tissue release surgery
- Peripheral nerve injuries – Nerve repair surgery
- Muscle tear – Muscle repair surgery
- Spondylarthropathies – Arthrodesis surgery
So how does the team work its magic? Dr’s knowledge and experience in the field of Sports Medicine has been a tool that has led him and his team members to think outside the box to approach and carry out a healing process with absolutely no surgical intervention. Conservative Management is the clinical term which at SPARRC is a therapeutically wholesome method comprising of Physiotherapy, Aqua therapy, Acupuncture, Pranic healing and Rehabilitation. Our effective therapeutic procedures are always preceded by an accurate diagnosis of the cause of pain which comes from an in detail history taking from the patient and not necessarily from costly MRI scans, etc.
Advanced Surgical procedures today are available no doubt but a cut, remove and sew approach may turn out to be a sour experience both mentally and physically, as it is often forgotten to prepare oneself for post surgical complications such poor muscle tone, stiffness and weight gain to name a few. Conservative management of pain is safe and effective in the long run with regards to alleviating pain and keeping the physical activity of the patient at a near moderate level unlike a surgical procedure that involves a period of immobilization, only sending the patients health and fitness downhill.
Our team has been helping patients keep their medical expenses and hospitalization minimal by providing therapy directed to the cause of pain. Whether it is an arthritic pain for which normally knee replacement is suggested or a disc prolapse for which removal is suggested, we examine the surrounding soft tissue based on which the prognosis is decided. Aqua therapy is our weapon to be rid of knee pain and core exercises and stretches to get rid of back ache, therefore enabling our patients bid farewell to pain altogether.
CAN SURGERY BE AVOIDED?………..
At SPARRC we make it happen, the patients watch it happen and some wonder how it happened. To determine the choice of treatment requires a diagnosis to understand the human body with its astounding individuality, which is the unique talent of Dr.Kannan Pugazhendi. He stresses on an extensive history elicitation from the patient which has been the hallmark of medicine, now buried in favor of costly investigations run by technological advancement.
Our Sports medicine Institute is driven by skill and human care, where exercise prescription supersedes the prescription of medicine, ensuring speedy recovery and good health in the process. Inspite of Key hole surgeries which are made alluring, the fear of surgery still remains. The Key hole nature only reduces the external incision but not the invasion. Even a Key hole invasion is an extensive procedure with its own outcomes, compared to an exercise prescribed to maintain health.
As surgical procedures are avoided at SPARRC so are the extensive costs that go with making the treatment affordable and effective. It is common to note that a patient who walks in with a complaint, at SPARRC, does not usually walk back into the institute with the same complaint when it is cleared by the team. The institute not only treats the injury and illness but keeps the patients in the best of their wellness. People talk about eradicating illness; here we talk about establishing wellness. Feel free to contact our experts in case of any clarifications.

12 years agoDear Dr.Kannan,
Greetings!!!
I fell from the bike and hurt my left shoulder long long back, {almost 18 years}, i had severe pain for more than a week and it slowly subsided,i did not consult any doctor nor did i take any medication.
I used to work out in the gym (weight training), and whenever i feel pain in my shoulder, i stopped going,but the discomfort in the shoulder continued to hamper my free movement.
Due to various priorities and committments i left it unattended and did not seek any professional advise.
A couple of months back i sought the help of an Orthopaedician, and he suggested me for a Prednisolone inj, ( i knew it was only a temporary releif), since i am not a sports person, he dint want me to go for a MRI, but since the pain recurred again within a weeks time of the injection, i had to reconsult with him, and this time he asked me to take an MRI, provided i am ready for a surgery after seeing the report.
After seeing the report, Doctor advised me against a surgery, as he says that i might not be cured completely hence it is not advisable.
Doctor can i please have an appointment with you, to check and assess my condition, and get treated and cured, to be able to do all activity (sporting).
Awaiting your favourable comments.
Warm regards

12 years agoDear Doctor Kannan Pugazhendi,
My Mother, Aged 63, is suffering from complete knee erosion and doctors at many hospitals have advised TKR as only solution.
She has already had CABG done, and her lungs, kidneys also function at lesser percentage as a result of which any further operation (TKR) carries greater risk.
Hence we want her to be relieved as much as possible from her knee pain and be able to walk at least minimum required for her daily chorus if not more without any surgery. Can SPAARC institute help her Without surgery or severe drugs or sterioids.
Please give me appointment, i will bring her with all available medical records, x-ray (all very latest).
With regards,

11 years agoHello Doctor
Around six weeks ago, I had an injury in which I suffered a complete ACL tear in the right knee.
I have been diagnosed with ‘COMPLETE TEAR OF ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT’. Doctors have advised me to go for surgery, but I wanted to know if there is any possibility of treating this through Ayurveda at your hospital. Please advise soon. Please see below my detailed report: MRI RIGHT KNEE
STUDY PROTOCOL: SPIN ECHO T1W, T2W, PD AND STIR SAGITTAL IMAGES OF RIGHT KNEE JOINT WERE OBTAINED ON A DEDICATED PHASED ARRAY COIL AND CORRELATED WITH T2W AXIAL, AND T1W AND T2W CORONAL IMAGES.
FINDINGS:
The study reveals:
COMPLETE TEAR OF ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT-from its femoral attachment. Posterior cruciate ligament shows normal caliber and signal intensity. No obvious anterior tibial translation evident in the current study.
PARA-MENISCAL CYST IS SEEN IN RELATION TO ANTERIOR LATERAL MENISCUS. THERE IS DISTENSION OF JOINT CAPSULE AND LIKELY MENISCO-CAPSULAR SEPARATION IN RELATION TO LATERAL MENISCUS.
GR.II-TEAR SEEN IN POSTERIOR HORN OF MEDIAL MENISCUS WITH MILD EXTRUSION ACROSS THE MEDIAL JOINT LINE.
GR.II-SPRAIN OF LATERAL COLLATERAL LIGAMENT noted. MCL appears normal.
Marked joint effusion is seen in the supra patellar recess, para-condylar and intercondylar regions and tibio-femoral joint space.
Bones appear normal in signal intensity and cortical outline.
Patellar ligament and quadriceps tendon are normally visualized.
Please correlate clinically and with relevant investigations/ arthroscopy.

My mother in law who is 70 years old is suffering from severe pain in knee joints. She walks with great difficulty . A physiotherapist has been coming and giving her some treatment for last two weeks, but there not much effect. She is obese and walks with the support of walker. Doctors opine that this is due to old age and knee replacement is the only option to get relieved of the pain. She is not willing to go in for surgery. Is there any way we can consult you and you could help us out in this regard. if yes, would be much obliged if you could give an appointment.
thanks,
shuba.

8 years agoHello Doctor,
Past back three years ago I had a ACL tear while playing football,so I went to the doctor he advised me to go for MRI and it revealed that I had a ACL and MEDIAL MENISCUS tear (Partial) so he advised me to go for operation but at that time I was studying so I aborted the idea of operation and gave rest to my leg. Through someone I got to know about this institute which cures ligament tear by physiotherapy. So at last I want to ask a question whether ACL tear can be treated completely by physiotherapy or not. Please let me know about the query and appointment.
