Rheumatology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and management of various diseases and disorders involving the connective tissues and the autoimmune system. Although rheumatic diseases affect almost 1 out of 5 individuals in India, a major challenge is being faced in terms of their diagnosis and treatment. Rheumatic diseases can be quite complicated and most of them are for the entire life. The focus of this department is on reducing pain and other symptoms so as to enhance the quality of the patient's life as well as increase life expectancy of the patients.
The Department of Rheumatology of ManglamPlus Medicity has many expert rheumatologists who are committed to provide the patients with the finest treatment and best in class interventions to ensure effective and efficient management of various connective tissue disorders and autoimmune malfunctions in both adults and children. The department is backed by a team of highly specialised healthcare experts, who strive to offer the best care to the patients. The department has well equipped labs where leading-edge modalities are offered for accurate diagnosis and evaluation. The areas where we deal are:

• Diagnosis and management of autoimmune and rheumatic diseases.
• Administration of biological disease modification therapy.
• Intra-articular joint injections.
• Total knee replacement if any of knee joint is in terminal stage with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

At the department, most rheumatic diseases are treated by well experienced and able rheumatologists. Physiotherapy is also provided and is vital in the treatment of many rheumatological disorders. Occupational therapy can help patients find alternative ways for common movements that would otherwise be restricted by their disease. Treatment is often tailored according to the individual needs of each patient which is also dependent on the response and the tolerability of medications.
