Rheumatology Care
Comprehensive, evidence-based care delivered by experienced specialists using advanced medical technology.
BOOK APPOINTMENTAbout the Department
Rheumatology Care at Nano Hospitals focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that primarily affect joints, muscles, bones, and connective tissues.
Rheumatologic conditions often begin gradually with symptoms such as joint pain, morning stiffness, swelling, fatigue, or muscle weakness. These disorders can be chronic and progressive, sometimes affecting internal organs like the lungs, heart, kidneys, or skin. At Nano Hospitals, care is aimed not only at controlling pain and inflammation but also at preventing joint damage, preserving mobility, and maintaining quality of life.
Care is delivered through a patient-centred, multidisciplinary approach combining clinical evaluation, laboratory testing, imaging, immunological assessment, medication therapy, and rehabilitation support. Each treatment plan is personalised based on disease type, severity, age, lifestyle, and overall health.
Overview of Rheumatology Care
Rheumatology deals with autoimmune, inflammatory, and degenerative conditions of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissues. Early signs such as persistent joint stiffness (especially in the morning), symmetrical joint pain, or unexplained fatigue should be evaluated promptly.
Nano Hospitals emphasises early diagnosis, disease-modifying treatment, and long-term monitoring to prevent irreversible joint damage and organ complications.
