Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases

What are Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases?

Autoimmune rheumatic diseases, also known as autoimmune connective tissue diseases, are a group of disorders characterized by the immune system attacking the body's own tissues, particularly the connective tissues such as joints, muscles, skin, and blood vessels. These diseases can affect multiple organs and systems throughout the body, leading to a wide range of symptoms and complications, often causing significant discomfort and requiring specialized medical care.

Degenerative Joint Diseases

What are Degenerative Joint Diseases?

Degenerative joint diseases, also known as degenerative joint disorders or osteoarthritis (OA), involve the gradual deterioration of cartilage cushioning the ends of bones within joints. Characterized by progressive joint tissue damage, these diseases lead to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility, significantly impacting daily activities and quality of life. Commonly affecting knees, hips, and hands, OA is a leading cause of disability in older adults.

Treatment for Osteoarthritis

The treatment for osteoarthritis (OA) focuses on relieving pain, improving joint function, and enhancing overall quality of life. Though OA has no cure, various treatment options can manage symptoms and slow disease progression. Medications, physical therapy, and sometimes surgical interventions provide patients with significant relief and improved daily functioning, ultimately contributing to a better quality of life despite the condition.

What Our Patient Says

Dr. Vishad is one of the most professional doctors I’ve ever met. He is a great listener, asks the right questions, and is genuinely concerned about the patient’s well-being. I had been undergoing treatment for rheumatology and immunology for nearly 1.5 years at IRIS and am improving day by day. I was diagnosed with the disease about 5 years back immediately after my daughter was born and was undergoing various treatments including steroids at various hospitals. But after the treatments at IRIS, a long-term work-from-home IT professional is back to daily office routine. I am able to maintain work-life balance with proper and regular medication. The staff at IRIS are friendly and have a good attitude. Thanks much, Doctor and IRIS.

Neeraja Rajesh

Dr. Vishad Viswanath’s IRIS clinic is a most advanced clinic with good facilities. Dr. himself is very compassionate to his patients and is very dedicated. The entire crew in the clinic is very friendly and is ready to help you enthusiastically. Really happy with the treatments at the Center.
