Vertigo
it is now being recognized that peripheral vertigo is best-managed using techniques of manipulation and exercises. This very distressing symptom is being managed along with the ENT department and has one of the largest series of patients treated by such methods. Long-term dependence on drugs by these unfortunate sufferers is largely reduced by these methods. |

Cardiac rehabilitation & Chest physiotherapy are also ancillary services offered by the Physical Medicine department in association with the respective departments. This is important as MIMS has one of the best Cardiac surgery departments in the country. The large ICU, again one of the largest ICU's in the country, makes chest physiotherapy essential for many patients for early recovery. |
