Four reasons patients from Chandigarh Sector 17, Sector 22, Sector 35, PGI catchment, and across the Tricity choose to travel 15 minutes to Gini.
Dr. Harjoban Singh is the only FIFA-certified orthopaedic surgeon in the Chandigarh Tricity. FIFA approval is a measurable international standard — not a marketing claim. Chandigarh patients driving 15 minutes access a FIFA-standard surgeon they cannot find closer to home.
Zero revision surgeries recorded. Zero post-operative infections recorded. When you are choosing a surgeon for shoulder repair or replacement, these are the outcome metrics that matter. In shoulder surgery, a post-operative infection can be catastrophic and require removal of the implant.
We explore every non-surgical option before recommending surgery. If there is a way to avoid surgery and restore function, we take it. 90% of shoulder cases we see are managed with physiotherapy, injections, and PRP alone. This is a fundamental commitment — not an afterthought.
Gini is NABH accredited — meeting national quality and safety standards. CGHS empanelled: Chandigarh zone CGHS beneficiaries can access cashless shoulder surgery. ECHS (defence) cards also accepted. Gini's CGHS desk handles all pre-authorisation paperwork.
Complete shoulder care — from tendinopathy to shoulder replacement. 15 minutes from Chandigarh.
The rotator cuff is a group of four tendons that stabilise the shoulder and enable rotation. Tears occur from degeneration, overuse, or acute trauma — very common in Chandigarh Tricity patients over 40 with active lifestyles or desk-based posture problems. The most commonly torn tendon is the supraspinatus.
The supraspinatus tendon catches under the acromion bone with arm elevation — causing pain and inflammation. Extremely common in IT professionals and desk workers in the Chandigarh Tricity due to prolonged poor posture. Almost always treated non-surgically.
Frozen shoulder causes progressive pain then severe stiffness. More common in diabetics — highly prevalent in the Chandigarh Tricity. Three phases: freezing (worsening pain, 6–9 months), frozen (severe stiffness, 4–12 months), thawing (gradual recovery, 6–24 months). With treatment, each phase is shortened significantly.
Common in young athletes in Chandigarh Tricity — cricket, kabaddi, wrestling, football. After a first dislocation, recurrence risk is highest in young, active patients. Recurrent instability (3+ dislocations) causes progressive labral and cartilage damage.
Progressive shoulder arthritis — loss of cartilage, pain with all movement, grinding, stiffness. When physiotherapy and injections are insufficient, shoulder replacement is the definitive treatment. Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) for intact rotator cuffs, Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA) for rotator cuff failure. Both covered under CGHS.
These are the treatments Chandigarh patients receive before any surgical option is considered — and why 90% of cases never need an operating theatre.
Gini's physiotherapy protocols are diagnosis-specific — not a generic shoulder programme. Rotator cuff strengthening, scapular stabilisation, range-of-motion work tailored to your MRI findings. Chandigarh patients attend Gini OPD without traffic difficulty.
Ultrasound or fluoroscopy-guided injections into the subacromial space, AC joint, or glenohumeral joint. Image-guided injections are significantly more accurate and effective than freehand. Rapid pain relief, enabling productive physiotherapy to begin.
Your own blood is processed to concentrate growth factors, then injected into damaged tendon. Particularly effective for partial rotator cuff tears and chronic tendinopathy. Used before any surgical conversation begins.
Dr. Harjoban provides specific guidance on what to stop, modify, and maintain during recovery. Continuing aggravating activities is the most common reason conservative treatment fails. Clear, practical advice is given at the first consultation.
Chandigarh zone CGHS beneficiaries are treated cashlessly at Gini Advanced Care Hospital. Rotator cuff repair, subacromial decompression, Bankart repair, and shoulder replacement are all covered under CGHS notified package rates. Gini's CGHS desk handles your Wellness Centre referral coordination and pre-authorisation filing — 48–72 hour turnaround.
