Our rheumatology department specializes in treating conditions such as:

• Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
• Lupus, fibromyalgia, and ankylosing spondylitis
• Gout and other metabolic bone disorders
• Psoriatic arthritis and autoimmune diseases
• Vasculitis, a group of conditions that cause inflammation of the blood vessels, and other musculoskeletal disorders

Our rheumatologists provide expert care to manage these conditions, reducing pain and improving mobility. Many patients trust our team for the guidance of an experienced rheumatology doctor in Chennai.

We offer 24/7 emergency care for high risk patients experiencing severe pain, joint flare-ups, or sudden mobility challenges. Our dedicated team provides:

• Immediate diagnostic tests like ultrasound and arthroscopy.
• Inpatient care and intensive pain management for critical cases.
• Advanced therapies and treatments to stabilize patients in emergencies.

This round-the-clock support reflects our commitment as a dependable rheumatology hospital in Chennai.

If you are experiencing the following symptoms or concerns, it may be time to consult a rheumatologist:

• Persistent joint pain: If joint pain lasts for more than a few weeks, especially if it's accompanied by swelling, stiffness, or redness.
• Morning stiffness: Joint stiffness that lasts for more than 30 minutes in the morning can be a sign of inflammatory arthritis.
• Multiple joint pain: Pain or swelling in several joints, particularly symmetrical joint involvement, such as both knees or both hands.
• Limited mobility: Difficulty moving your joints or performing daily activities due to pain or swelling.
• Unexplained fatigue: Ongoing fatigue, especially if accompanied by other symptoms like fever or weight loss.
• Family history: If you have a family history of autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or psoriatic arthritis.
• Sudden joint flare-ups: Episodes of sudden pain and swelling in joints, possibly linked to gout or other inflammatory conditions.
• Recurring muscle pain: Persistent or recurring muscle aches or tenderness could indicate fibromyalgia or other systemic diseases.
• Skin rashes with joint pain: Symptoms like a butterfly-shaped rash across the nose, often linked with lupus, paired with joint pain.

• Accurate, test-backed diagnosis. Blood tests, ultrasound, and arthroscopy are used together to confirm conditions before treatment begins, not just symptom management.
• Coordinated care for complex cases. Conditions like lupus and vasculitis can affect the kidneys and blood vessels, so our rheumatology team works closely with nephrology and cardiology when needed.
• Full range of treatment. From physical therapy to biologics and PRP therapy, treatment is matched to the severity and type of condition, not a single standard protocol.
• Long-term relationship, not one-time treatment. Chronic rheumatological conditions need ongoing monitoring, and our team supports patients through flare-ups and long-term management alike.
