Rheumatology: Comprehensive Care for Joint and Autoimmune Disorders

Overview

Rheumatology is the branch of medicine that deals with diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal diseases and autoimmune conditions, often referred to as rheumatic diseases. These disorders affect the joints, muscles, bones, and immune system, leading to pain, inflammation, stiffness, and, in some cases, long-term disability. At [Your Hospital Name], our expert rheumatologists in Lucknow specialize in providing personalized treatment plans for both common and complex rheumatic conditions, aiming to improve the quality of life for our patients.

Our rheumatology department focuses on early diagnosis, effective management, and multidisciplinary care for conditions like arthritis, lupus, and osteoporosis. By using the latest advancements in medicine, including biologic therapies, physical therapy, and minimally invasive procedures, we ensure the best outcomes for our patients. Whether you are experiencing joint pain, fatigue, or other symptoms related to autoimmune disorders, our experienced rheumatologists are here to help you regain mobility and reduce discomfort.

What We Treat

Our team of rheumatologists and orthopedic specialists treat a wide range of rheumatic and autoimmune diseases, including:

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): An autoimmune disorder that causes chronic inflammation of the joints, leading to pain, swelling, and potential joint deformity. Early treatment can help prevent long-term damage.
Osteoarthritis (OA): A degenerative joint disease that results from the breakdown of cartilage in the joints, leading to pain and stiffness. It is commonly seen in older adults but can affect younger people due to injury or overuse.
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS): A type of inflammatory arthritis that primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints, causing pain and stiffness. AS can lead to a fusion of the vertebrae over time, limiting mobility.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE): Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect various organs, including the skin, joints, kidneys, and heart. Managing lupus requires a multidisciplinary approach to control inflammation and prevent organ damage.
Gout: A form of inflammatory arthritis caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood, leading to the formation of painful crystals in the joints, often in the big toe.
Psoriatic Arthritis: A type of inflammatory arthritis associated with the skin condition psoriasis. It affects the joints and can cause swelling, stiffness, and pain.
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA): The most common type of arthritis in children, JIA causes joint inflammation and stiffness that can last for months or years.
Sjögren’s Syndrome: An autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the glands that produce moisture, leading to dry eyes and mouth, as well as joint pain and fatigue.
Vasculitis: Inflammation of the blood vessels, which can affect any part of the body. Vasculitis can lead to serious complications if not treated early.
Fibromyalgia: A chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tenderness in localized areas of the body. It often requires a holistic approach to treatment.
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR): A condition that causes muscle pain and stiffness, typically in the shoulders and hips, mostly affecting older adults.
Scleroderma: A group of autoimmune diseases that cause hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues. Scleroderma can also affect internal organs in some cases.
Osteoporosis: A condition where bones become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent serious bone damage.
