Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], October 11: World Arthritis Day 2025, themed “Achieve Your Dreams,” serves as a powerful reminder that a diagnosis of rheumatic or musculoskeletal disease (RMD) need not define or limit one's aspirations. With timely diagnosis, modern treatment options, and holistic care, individuals with arthritis can look beyond pain management and strive for active, fulfilling lives.
Dr. Vaibhav Jain, Assistant Professor of Orthopaedics at Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal, and an acclaimed spine and joint care specialist, reflects this spirit of optimism and progress. His academic journey began with MBBS from JNMC, Belgaum, followed by MS Orthopaedics from Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla. He further honed his expertise during senior residencies at IGMC Shimla and AIIMS Bhopal. Since December 2020, he has been serving at Gandhi Medical College and also runs his dedicated spine and orthopaedics clinic in Bhopal. He has a special interest in orthobiologics and regenerative medicine, focusing on minimally invasive and endoscopic spine surgery. He is credited with performing Bhopal's first unilateral biportal endoscopic discectomy.
According to Dr. Jain, modern arthritis care is no longer limited to pain control but aims to modify the disease process itself. Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) play a pivotal role in inflammatory arthritis by reducing immune-driven joint damage. Complementing them are orthobiologics and regenerative therapies — such as PRP, stem cell–based treatments, and growth factor injections — which harness the body's healing potential. Dr. Jain frequently employs these cutting-edge therapies, especially in early to moderate arthritis, to slow disease progression, reduce pain, and delay the need for major joint surgeries.
For younger individuals or those with less advanced joint changes, joint preservation surgeries are valuable options aimed at maintaining natural joint structure and function. When arthritis reaches an advanced stage, joint replacement surgery continues to be a dependable solution, now enhanced by improved technology, surgical precision, and rehabilitation protocols. Dr. Jain's practice spans spine surgery, joint replacement, complex trauma care, sports injury management, and regenerative interventions, covering the diverse challenges faced by people living with arthritis.
Beyond medical and surgical treatment, Dr. Jain strongly advocates lifestyle modification as a cornerstone of long-term joint health. Weight management reduces stress on major joints like the knees, hips, and spine. Low-impact exercises such as walking, swimming, and yoga help maintain flexibility and muscle strength. Balanced nutrition, anti-inflammatory diets, proper posture, and avoiding prolonged inactivity are essential supportive measures.
He places great emphasis on early diagnosis, noting that even mild stiffness or intermittent joint pain should prompt evaluation. Early initiation of therapies — including DMARDs and orthobiologics — combined with timely surgical intervention when required and consistent lifestyle practices, can transform the arthritis journey, helping individuals move beyond limitations.
This World Arthritis Day, let us embrace Dr. Jain's message: arthritis should not hold back dreams. With awareness, modern regenerative treatments, and proactive care, every individual can move forward, stay active, and truly Achieve Your Dreams.
