Rheumatology Care
Rheumatology is a branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic diseases, which include autoimmune and inflammatory disorders that can affect the joints, muscles, and organs. These conditions often cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of function in the affected areas, significantly impacting a person’s mobility and daily activities. Rheumatic diseases are often chronic and can be debilitating without proper treatment, making specialized care essential.
Common Conditions Treated at Preethi Hospital’s Rheumatology Department
At Preethi Hospital, we provide expert care for a wide range of rheumatic conditions, including:
1. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
RA is a chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects the joints, causing pain, swelling, and eventually leading to joint damage. Our team works to manage symptoms, reduce inflammation, and prevent joint destruction through personalized treatment plans.
2. Osteoarthritis
A degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis results from wear and tear of the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones. Our approach focuses on pain relief, improving joint function, and preventing further damage through medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes.
3. Lupus (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus)
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, and joints. Our rheumatologists work closely with other specialists to manage the wide-ranging symptoms and organ involvement in lupus patients.
