From Chronic Pain to Quick Relief- Bethel Hospital Brings Global Orthopaedic Advances to the City

Orthopaedic patients often associate treatment with major surgery, long periods of bed rest, and months of painful recovery. However, recent advancements in medical technology are transforming this perception. City-based Bethel Hospital is offering innovative, minimally invasive procedures that help patients recover faster, stay mobile, and, in many cases, avoid surgery altogether.

Under the leadership of Managing Directors Dr. Rajapandian and Dr. Sheela Rajapandian, Bethel Hospital has been delivering specialized orthopaedic and women’s health care for over two decades, earning a strong reputation for patient-focused treatment.

Dr. Samuel Anantharaj, Orthopaedic Surgeon at the hospital, is spearheading several advanced therapies including Pain Portal Blockers, Hydrozone Therapy, M Therapy, Autohemotherapy, and ozone arthrodiastasis. These methods target pain directly, reduce recovery time, and enable patients to regain mobility much sooner than with traditional approaches.

Speaking to the media, Dr. Samuel Anantharaj, mentioned that Pain Portal Blocks with ozone are proving particularly beneficial for elderly patients with hip and spine fractures. By delivering ozone and local anaesthetic precisely to the source of pain, this technique disrupts pain signals almost instantly, significantly improving mobility. He added that in many cases, patients have been able to stand and walk on the same day of the procedure. 

He added that these treatments have also shown promising results in addressing avascular necrosis (AVN), acute and chronic back and neck pain, and nerve compression issues, as they reduce inflammation around affected nerves and improve overall mobility without resorting to surgery.

The hospital also offers the ‘M Regime’ therapy, which combines DMARDs with supportive supplements. When integrated with ozone arthrodiastasis—gently widening joint spaces for ozone infusion—and major autohemotherapy—treating a patient’s blood with ozone before reinfusion—the approach has delivered significant pain relief and improved joint movement in patients with chronic orthopaedic conditions.

Highlighting another key innovation - Hydrozone Therapy, Dr. Samuel Anatharaj said it blends hydrogen and ozone for advanced wound care. This therapy has been particularly effective in treating acute and chronic diabetic, vascular, and neuropathic ulcers. By reducing infection, improving blood circulation, and calming nerve-related inflammation, it accelerates the body’s natural healing processes. He added that even patients with long-standing, non-healing wounds have seen marked improvement using this method.

The hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery to deliver these advanced therapies.
