Polio Treatment & Rehabilitation in Panvel, Navi Mumbai

Polio Treatment & Corrective Orthopaedic Surgery in Panvel

At Mhatre Accident Hospital, we are deeply committed to improving the quality of life for polio survivors in Panvel, Navi Mumbai, and across Raigad district. Our multidisciplinary team — comprising orthopaedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and orthotists — offers a comprehensive range of polio treatment and corrective surgical services tailored to each patient's functional needs and life goals.

Polio can cause lasting weakness, limb deformities, and progressive functional decline known as Post-Polio Syndrome (PPS). With timely surgical correction and dedicated rehabilitation, many polio survivors regain independence, mobility, and a significantly improved quality of life.

Our Polio Treatment Services

• Corrective Orthopaedic Surgery: Tendon transfers, osteotomies, joint stabilisation, and limb realignment procedures to correct deformities and improve function.
• Advanced Physiotherapy: Personalised exercise programmes to strengthen weakened muscles, improve gait, and enhance overall mobility — delivered by our in-house physiotherapy team.
• Custom Orthotics & Bracing: Individually fitted ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs), knee braces, and mobility aids to provide stability, improve walking, and prevent secondary deformities.
• Post-Polio Syndrome Management: Structured programmes to manage fatigue, pain, and new weakness that develops years after the initial polio infection.
• Occupational Therapy: Practical training to help patients maximise function in daily activities, work, and independent living.
• Pain & Spasticity Management: Medical and minimally invasive interventions to control chronic pain and muscle spasticity.
• Paediatric Polio Care: Dedicated assessment and treatment for children with polio-related deformities — often combined with our paediatric orthopaedic services.

When Is Corrective Surgery Needed for Polio?

Surgery is considered when physiotherapy and orthotics alone are insufficient to maintain function or prevent progressive deformity. Common surgical interventions for polio patients include:

• Tendon transfers to restore muscle balance and limb function
• Joint stabilisation (arthrodesis) for flail joints that cannot support weight
• Limb lengthening for leg length discrepancies
• Correction of foot and ankle deformities (equinus, varus, valgus)
• Spinal deformity correction for polio-related scoliosis
