Rheumatoid & Inflammatory Arthritis

Rheumatoid and inflammatory arthritis are chronic autoimmune disorders in which the immune system attacks the joints, causing persistent pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced mobility. These conditions often affect multiple joints on both sides of the body and may progress over time if not treated early. With timely diagnosis and a structured treatment plan, inflammation can be controlled, joint damage minimized, and overall quality of life significantly improved.
