Welcome to Preethi Hospitals’ Rheumatology Department
At Preethi Hospitals, we understand that living with rheumatic diseases can be challenging and life-altering. Our dedicated Rheumatology Department is here to provide comprehensive care and support to help you manage your condition and improve your quality of life.
What is Rheumatology?
Rheumatology is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating rheumatic diseases. These diseases primarily affect the joints, muscles, and connective tissues, causing pain, inflammation, and a range of other symptoms. Common rheumatic diseases include:
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: A chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the joints.
- Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of joint cartilage and underlying bone.
- Lupus: An autoimmune disease that can affect various parts of the body.
- Gout: A form of arthritis characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain and swelling.
- Ankylosing Spondylitis: Inflammation of the spine and large joints.
- Psoriatic Arthritis: A form of arthritis affecting some people with psoriasis.
Our Approach to Rheumatology
At Preethi Hospitals, we take a holistic approach to rheumatology, focusing on the whole patient rather than just the disease. Our rheumatologists work closely with other specialists, including physical therapists, occupational therapists, and pain management experts, to create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to each patient’s needs.
State-of-the-Art Diagnostics
Accurate diagnosis is the first step in effective treatment. Our Rheumatology Department is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools and techniques to identify rheumatic diseases accurately and early. These include:
- Blood Tests: To detect markers of inflammation and autoimmune activity.
- Imaging: X-rays, MRI, and ultrasound to visualize joint and tissue damage.
- Joint Aspiration and Biopsy: To analyze synovial fluid and tissue samples.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Every patient is unique, and so is their treatment plan. Our rheumatologists will develop a personalized plan that may include:
- Medications: To reduce inflammation, manage pain, and slow disease progression.
- Physical Therapy: To improve joint function and reduce pain.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Advice on diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes to support overall health.
- Surgical Options: In severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to repair or replace damaged joints.
