DISEASES TREATED
AUTOIMMUNE & INFLAMMATORY ARTHRITIS
-
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) – A chronic autoimmune disease causing joint inflammation, pain, stiffness, and potential joint damage.
-
Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) – An inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis, leading to joint pain, swelling, and skin lesions.
-
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)/Axial Spondyloarthritis – A form of arthritis that primarily affects the spine, causing pain, stiffness, and possible spinal fusion.
-
Reactive Arthritis/Post Viral Arthritis (eg. Chikungunya arthritis) – Inflammation of joints triggered by an infection, often affecting the knees, ankles, and feet.
-
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) – A group of arthritis conditions affecting children, causing joint pain, swelling, and stiffness.


CONNECTIVE TISSUE & AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
-
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) – A multisystem autoimmune disease causing inflammation in the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, and other organs.
-
Sjögren’s Syndrome – An autoimmune disorder affecting moisture-producing glands, leading to dry eyes and dry mouth.
-
Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma) – A disease causing skin thickening, blood vessel damage, and possible organ involvement.
-
Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) – A condition with overlapping features of lupus, scleroderma, and polymyositis.
-
Polymyositis/Dermatomyositis – Inflammatory muscle diseases causing weakness, with dermatomyositis also presenting with a characteristic skin rash.
CRYSTAL-INDUCED ARTHRITIS
-
Gout – A form of arthritis caused by uric acid crystal buildup in joints, leading to severe pain and swelling, often in the big toe.
-
Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease (CPPD, Pseudogout) – Arthritis caused by calcium crystal deposits in joints, leading to inflammation and pain.


VASCULITIS (BLOOD VESSEL INFLAMMATION)
-
Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) – An inflammatory disease of large blood vessels, often affecting the head and causing headaches and vision problems.
-
Takayasu Arteritis – A rare condition causing inflammation of large arteries, leading to reduced blood flow and organ damage.
-
Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA, Wegener’s Granulomatosis) – A type of vasculitis affecting the respiratory tract and kidneys.
-
Microscopic Polyangiitis (MPA) – A vasculitis affecting small blood vessels, often involving the lungs and kidneys.
-
IgA Vasculitis (Henoch-Schönlein Purpura) – A small-vessel vasculitis causing rash, joint pain, and kidney involvement, mostly in children.
OTHER RHEUMATIC & MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS
-
Osteoarthritis (OA) – A degenerative joint disease caused by cartilage breakdown, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
-
Fibromyalgia – A chronic pain condition characterized by widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances.
-
Sarcoidosis – An inflammatory disease that can affect multiple organs, particularly the lungs and lymph nodes.
-
Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (Including Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) – Conditions characterized by joint hypermobility, pain, and connective tissue abnormalities.
