Rheumatology
Managing rheumatoid arthritis can be difficult because it is a chronic condition that affects the joints and can lead to severe pain, stiffness, and swelling. Rheumatoid arthritis treatment is essential to help control the disease and improve your quality of life. Early diagnosis and effective treatment can prevent joint damage and allow you to maintain an active lifestyle.
We specialize in advanced rheumatic disease care, offering personalized treatment plans for each patient. Our expert rheumatologists use the latest techniques and medications, including Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) and biologic therapies, to manage the progression of rheumatoid arthritis.
Along with medication, we emphasize physical therapy and lifestyle adjustments to help reduce symptoms and prevent flare-ups.

Rheumatology is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases that affect the joints, muscles, bones, and immune system. These diseases are generally inflammatory and autoimmune in nature, meaning the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues.
Rheumatologists specialize in managing these conditions, helping patients alleviate symptoms, manage pain, and prevent long-term damage.
Rheumatic diseases include a wide range of conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system and connective tissues. These include:
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced joint function. It most commonly affects the small joints of the hands, wrists, and feet but can also impact other parts of the body, including the skin, eyes, and lungs.
RA occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the synovium, the lining of the membranes that surround the joints.
Over time, this inflammation can cause joint damage and deformity if left untreated. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to managing RA and preventing long-term complications.

Blood Tests
Imaging Tests
1. Medications
Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDs): These medications work to slow the progression of rheumatoid arthritis and prevent joint damage.
Biologics: These advanced drugs target specific parts of the immune system that trigger inflammation, providing more precise treatment.
Corticosteroids and NSAIDs: These drugs help manage pain and reduce inflammation during flare-ups, providing relief from joint stiffness and discomfort.
2. Rheumatoid Arthritis Therapy Treatment & Exercise
Role of Physical Therapy: Regular therapy helps improve joint flexibility, strengthen muscles, and maintain mobility.
Exercise: A tailored exercise program can help manage symptoms, reduce stiffness, and improve overall joint health.
3. Lifestyle Adjustments
Diet: A balanced diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods can help control symptoms.
Stress Management: Managing stress is essential, as stress can trigger RA flare-ups.
Staying Active: Regular physical activity helps maintain joint health and overall well-being.
4. Injections and Infusions
Steroid Injections: Used to reduce inflammation in specific joints during severe flare-ups.
Biologic Infusions: Administered in cases where conventional medications are not enough to control the disease.
5. Surgical Interventions
Surgery may be required when joint damage is severe and affects daily function, typically involving joint replacement or repair.
