Specialised Care for Rheumatic and Autoimmune Disorders

Using modern diagnostic tools and evidence-based treatments, our specialists help patients manage symptoms, prevent joint damage, and improve mobility and quality of life.

Rheumatology Services We Offer
The Rheumatology Department at Accord Hospital offers a wide range of services to diagnose, treat, and manage rheumatic diseases.
Rheumatology Consultation and Diagnosis
Patients experiencing persistent joint pain, swelling, stiffness, fatigue, or unexplained inflammation may require evaluation by a rheumatology specialist.
Our doctors conduct a thorough assessment that may include reviewing medical history, performing a physical examination, and recommending specialised investigations to confirm the diagnosis.
Early diagnosis helps prevent joint damage and improves treatment outcomes.
Diagnostic Tests for Rheumatic Diseases
Accurate diagnosis is essential for managing rheumatic and autoimmune conditions.
Our diagnostic services may include:
- Blood tests for autoimmune and inflammatory markers
- Joint imaging such as X-rays or ultrasound
- Tests to detect rheumatoid factors and antibodies
- Inflammatory marker evaluation
- Bone health assessments
These investigations help identify the specific type of rheumatic condition and guide treatment decisions.
Treatment for Arthritis and Joint Disorders
Arthritis is one of the most common rheumatic conditions and may cause joint pain, swelling, and stiffness.
Our rheumatologists provide medical treatments designed to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and preserve joint function. Treatment plans may include medication, lifestyle guidance, and physiotherapy support.
Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drug (DMARD) Therapy
For autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, specialists may prescribe disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs).
These medicines help control inflammation and slow the progression of joint damage.
Patients receiving these treatments are carefully monitored to ensure safe and effective long-term management.
Biologic and Targeted Therapy
In certain cases, advanced treatments known as biologic therapies or targeted therapies may be recommended. These medications work by targeting specific parts of the immune system responsible for inflammation.
Biologic treatments can significantly improve symptoms and reduce disease activity in patients with severe autoimmune conditions.
Joint Injection Therapy
For patients experiencing severe joint inflammation or pain, therapeutic joint injections may be recommended.
These injections can help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve joint mobility. The procedure is usually quick and performed under careful medical supervision.
Osteoporosis and Bone Health Management
Rheumatology care also includes the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures.
Our specialists assess bone health and provide treatment plans that may include medication, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle changes to improve bone strength.
Rehabilitation and Mobility Support
Chronic joint conditions can affect mobility and physical activity. Our rheumatology team works closely with physiotherapists to help patients maintain flexibility, strength, and joint function.
Patients receive guidance on safe exercises, joint protection techniques, and lifestyle adjustments that support long-term joint health.
