About Asso. Prof. Dr. Md. Imamur Rashid

Lifting heavy bundles of raw cotton day after day slowly crushes the human spine. Workers in the Madanganj textile hubs carry massive weights on their shoulders from dawn to dusk. They ignore the dull ache in their lower back. They just rub some cheap herbal ointment on the skin and go to sleep. One morning a veteran worker tries to get out of bed and a sharp shooting pain drops him to the floor. His legs feel completely numb. A trapped nerve suddenly stops his ability to earn a living. Asso Prof Dr Md Imamur Rashid takes charge of these exact physical breakdowns. He works as a Consultant in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. His medical journey started with an MBBS degree. He then dedicated his studies entirely to restoring bodily movement by earning an FCPS in Physical Medicine. You will find him treating injured patients at Popular Diagnostic Center Ltd in Narayangonj. The terrified cotton worker arrives at the clinic leaning heavily on his brother. He fears he will need a terrifying spinal operation. Dr Imamur Rashid brings a very different approach to the examination room. He does not immediately suggest surgery. He asks the man to bend forward slightly. He checks the reflexes in the knees and ankles using a small rubber hammer. He knows exactly which nerve is pinched under the damaged spinal disc just by watching the walking pattern. Holding an academic rank means he knows how to explain body mechanics simply. He grabs a blank piece of paper and draws the vertebrae. He shows the worker how the heavy lifting squeezed the natural cushion out of the spinal discs. He writes down a specific set of stretching exercises. He explains how targeted heat therapy and guided physical movements will slowly release the trapped nerve. He speaks in a reassuring tone. He tells the family that patience and daily physiotherapy will heal the back naturally. Taking a man with a severe back injury on a bumpy bus ride to the capital is pure torture. Every pothole on the highway sends electric shocks down his legs. Having a highly qualified rehabilitation specialist right in the city is a massive relief. The family can arrange the therapy sessions locally. The worker can recover in his own bed without enduring a suffocating journey. Walking upright again gives a hardworking father his pride back.
