Other Rheumatological Conditions

We understand the complexities of rheumatological conditions that affect the bones, muscles, and connective tissues. Our dedicated team of rheumatologists and healthcare professionals is committed to providing personalized care for each patient. Whether it’s managing pain and inflammation or addressing chronic autoimmune disorders and bone diseases, we prioritize symptom relief and overall quality of life improvement. Our approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and patient-centered care, empowering individuals to face their conditions with confidence and resilience.

• Gout Management: Gout, characterized by sudden and intense joint pain, is caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints. At Ramineni Hospital, our approach to gout management involves acute symptom relief and long-term prevention. We utilize medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchicine, and corticosteroids to alleviate pain and inflammation during flares. Additionally, lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes and weight management, are emphasized to reduce uric acid levels and prevent future attacks. Our goal is to empower patients to effectively manage their gout, minimize its impact on their lives, and prevent complications such as joint damage and kidney stones.

• Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR):

  PMR is an inflammatory disorder characterized by muscle pain and stiffness, typically affecting the shoulders, neck, and hips. Treatment at Ramineni Hospital often involves corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms. Physical therapy may also be recommended to improve mobility and strength. Our multidisciplinary approach aims to minimize the impact of PMR on patients’ daily activities and overall quality of life.

• Giant Cell Arteritis (Temporal Arteritis):

  Giant cell arteritis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the arteries, particularly those in the head and neck, which can lead to vision loss if left untreated. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications. At Ramineni Hospital, our rheumatologists specialize in the management of giant cell arteritis, utilizing high-dose corticosteroids to suppress inflammation and protect against vision loss. Close monitoring and ongoing care ensure optimal outcomes for patients with this condition.

Our multidisciplinary team collaborates to tailor treatment plans to each patient’s needs, with a focus on minimizing disease activity and improving quality of life.

• Dermatomyositis and Polymyositis:

  Dermatomyositis and polymyositis are autoimmune conditions characterized by muscle weakness and skin rash. Treatment at Ramineni Hospital involves medications to suppress inflammation and alleviate symptoms, including corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and biologics. Physical therapy may also be recommended to improve muscle strength and function. Our goal is to optimize patient outcomes and enhance quality of life through personalized care and support.

• Vasculitis:

  Vasculitis refers to inflammation of the blood vessels, which can affect various organs and tissues in the body. Ramineni Hospital offers specialized care for different types of vasculitis, including granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA). Treatment may involve immunosuppressive medications, corticosteroids, and other therapies tailored to the specific type and severity of vasculitis. Our multidisciplinary team works collaboratively to manage vasculitis effectively and improve patient outcomes.

• Osteoporosis Management:

  Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weakened bones, increasing the risk of fractures. At Ramineni Hospital, our rheumatologists provide comprehensive management for osteoporosis, including lifestyle modifications, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, medication therapy, and bone density monitoring. Our goal is to reduce fracture risk and improve bone health through personalized treatment plans and ongoing support.

• Paget’s Disease of Bone:

  Paget’s disease of bone is a chronic condition characterized by abnormal bone remodeling, leading to bone pain, deformities, and fractures. Treatment at Ramineni Hospital involves medications to regulate bone turnover, pain management strategies, and lifestyle modifications to support bone health. Our multidisciplinary team collaborates to tailor treatment plans to each patient’s needs, with a focus on improving symptoms and preventing complications.

• Fibromyalgia Care:

  Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and other symptoms.
