Advice from the clinic
दर्द और इलाज — आसान भाषा में
Plain-language articles on the problems we see most often at Eicher Chowk — what causes them, what genuinely helps, and when you should stop reading and get it looked at. Written by Dr. Prashant Giri (PT).

Our editorial standards
Health information is only useful if you can trust where it came from.
- Written by a practising clinician. Every article is written by Dr. Prashant Giri (PT), BPT · Manual Therapy · Pain & Rehabilitation, from what he sees treating patients at the Eicher Chowk clinic.
- Backed by published research. Where we quote a number — how common something is, how long recovery takes — we cite the study it came from, and you can open it yourself.
- We say when the evidence is mixed. If studies disagree, we show you both figures and explain why they differ, rather than picking the one that sounds best.
- Every article carries red flags. We tell you plainly which symptoms mean you should see a doctor rather than a physiotherapist.
- Dated and updated. Each article shows when it was published and last reviewed, so you know how current it is.
- Not a substitute for assessment. These articles are general information. They cannot examine you, and they are not a diagnosis.
Good to know
Is this medical advice?
No. These articles are general information written to help you understand common problems. They cannot replace an in-person assessment, because the right treatment depends on findings that only an examination can establish.
Who writes these articles?
They are written by Dr. Prashant Giri (PT) and the team at Nirogyam Pain and Physiotherapy Clinic, based on what we see day to day at the Eicher Chowk clinic.
