Rheumatology is the branch of medicine that deals with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases affecting joints, muscles, and connective tissues. At Nano Hospitals, rheumatology care focuses on relieving pain, controlling inflammation, and preventing long-term disability.
Many rheumatological conditions are chronic and systemic, requiring early diagnosis, long-term monitoring, and specialised treatment.
Care is delivered through a patient-centred approach combining advanced medical therapies, lifestyle guidance, and rehabilitation.
Rheumatological diseases arise from abnormal immune responses and chronic inflammation, leading to joint damage, pain, and potential organ involvement. Early specialist care is essential to limit progression.
Causes include autoimmune dysfunction, genetic predisposition, environmental triggers such as infections or stress, and metabolic imbalances such as elevated uric acid levels in gout.
With early diagnosis and modern therapies, most patients can lead active and productive lives. Biologics and DMARDs significantly reduce disease progression and improve long-term outcomes.
