Success story of a patient treated at Hunjan Hospital

Sagar Mehta, Ludhiana
I had been following a rigorous workout regime, but due to overuse and excessive pressure, I ended up with a musculoskeletal injury. I found out about this hospital and visited for treatment. After the initial consultation, the doctor conducted tests, identified the issue, and prescribed medication. Later, I was given a steroid injection, which helped reduce inflammation, followed by physical therapy. Now, two months later, I feel much better and can do everything on my own. I highly recommend consulting the team here for any health concerns.
