Arthritis, Rheumatism And Autoimmune Disorders

What is an Autoimmune Disease?

An autoimmune disease occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, tissues, or organs, leading to chronic inflammation and dysfunction in various parts of the body. Autoimmune diseases can affect joints, skin, blood vessels, and even major organs.

What is Arthritis?

Arthritis refers to inflammation and swelling in the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. While some types of arthritis result from wear and tear (like osteoarthritis), others—such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis—are autoimmune conditions.

Common Conditions We Treat

• Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) – An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks joint linings, causing inflammation and potential joint deformity.
• Psoriatic Arthritis – A form of arthritis linked to psoriasis, leading to joint pain, stiffness, and skin symptoms.
• Lupus – A systemic autoimmune disease that affects multiple organs, including the heart, kidneys, and brain.
• Scleroderma – A rare autoimmune disorder causing hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissue.  
• Sjӧgren’s Syndrome – A condition affecting the glands that produce tears and saliva, leading to dry eyes and dry mouth.
• Vasculitis – A group of rare diseases that cause inflammation of blood vessels, impacting circulation and organ function.
• Osteoarthritis – A degenerative joint condition where cartilage wears down over time, leading to pain and stiffness.
• Gout – A type of arthritis caused by uric acid crystal buildup in joints, most commonly affecting the big toe.

Common Symptoms of Autoimmune Diseases & Arthritis

• Joint pain, stiffness, and swelling
