Care course

Bones and joints care course

Who it may suit

Short answer: a bones and joints care course is a period of structured care, with a daily routine and follow-up, that Dr. D.K. Sharma may suggest after a ₹500 consultation. Book a consultation to discuss whether a course is available and suitable for you.

Urgent signs: back pain with new loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the genitals or weakness in both legs needs emergency care now. The full list is under “What it does not promise”.

A bones and joints course is offered only after a consultation with Dr. D.K. Sharma (BAMS), and only if he thinks structured care would help more than one visit.

It may suit you if knee pain, lower back pain, stiffness or high uric acid has lasted for months, and one consultation has not settled it.

Joint and back pain usually needs an examination first, and sometimes an X-ray or blood test, before structured care is planned.

What is different for bones and joints

The order is the same for every course: consultation, then your Dinacharya guide, then a follow-up if a course is suggested. It is explained on care courses.

For joints, the consultation asks which joint and which side, since when, whether there was an injury, how long morning stiffness lasts, any swelling, warmth or redness, and what eases or worsens the pain. Your work, posture, weight and activity matter too. Joint, back and neck pain describes this in full.

Bring your X-rays, MRI and blood reports, and every tablet, powder or oil you use, including painkillers and steroids.

Joints are usually examined in person. Ask the clinic what format is suitable for follow-ups.

Ask about course availability, follow-up and cost during your consultation.

What it does not promise

No course promises to reverse arthritis or end pain completely.

Back pain with new loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the genitals, or weakness in both legs needs emergency care now. A hot, red, swollen joint with fever needs urgent care the same day. Never stop a prescribed arthritis or steroid medicine on your own.
