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.
What are Degenerative Joint Diseases?
Degenerative joint diseases, also known as degenerative joint disorders or osteoarthritis (OA), are conditions that involve the gradual deterioration of the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones within the joints. These diseases are characterized by progressive damage to the joint tissues, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility.
Treatment for Osteoarthritis
The treatment for osteoarthritis (OA) aims to relieve pain, improve joint function, and enhance the overall quality of life. While there is no cure for OA, various treatment options can help manage symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease.
What Our Patient Says
Dr. Vishad is one of the most professional doctor I’ve ever met. He is a great listener, asks the right questions, and is genuinely concerned about patient’s well-being. I had been undegoing treatment for rhematology and immununology for nearly 1.5 years at IRIS now and 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 in IRIS, a long term work from home IT proffessional 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 has a good attitude. Thanks much Doctor and IRIS.
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
