At Sortho Bone & Joint Clinics, we specialize in managing various autoimmune and inflammatory conditions that affect the bones, joints, and soft tissues. Our expert rheumatologists and orthopaedic specialists work together to provide comprehensive care for conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Spondylarthritis (SPa), and Gout. Through advanced medical and biological interventions, we aim to alleviate symptoms, slow disease progression, and improve your quality of life.

Our Ortho Rheumatology Services Include:

1. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Management

• • Early Diagnosis & Treatment: RA is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and joint damage. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential to preventing joint destruction and improving long-term outcomes.
  • Medical Management: We offer disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), biologic therapies, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to control inflammation, reduce pain, and slow disease progression.
  • Physical Therapy: Targeted rehabilitation and exercises to maintain joint function, strengthen muscles, and reduce stiffness.
  • Joint Protection Strategies: Our team provides advice on lifestyle modifications and joint protection techniques to help manage daily activities and reduce strain on affected joints.

2. Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) Management

• • Early Intervention: Ankylosing Spondylitis is a type of arthritis that primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints, causing pain and stiffness. Early intervention can help reduce inflammation and prevent long-term spinal damage.
  • Medications: We offer non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), biologic agents (TNF inhibitors, IL-17 inhibitors), and corticosteroids to manage inflammation and improve mobility.
  • Spinal Exercises: We provide customized physiotherapy to help improve posture, spinal mobility, and flexibility, reducing pain and stiffness.
  • Lifestyle Guidance: Posture correction, ergonomic advice, and exercise regimens to prevent worsening of the disease and improve function.

3. Spondyloarthritis (SPa) Management

• • Diagnosis & Treatment: Spondyloarthritis is a group of inflammatory diseases that affect the joints, particularly the spine and pelvis. Our team offers personalized care plans that include medication, physiotherapy, and lifestyle management to control inflammation and enhance quality of life.
  • Biologic and Conventional Therapy: Treatment options include biologic therapies (such as TNF inhibitors and IL-17 inhibitors) and conventional medications to control inflammation and prevent joint damage.
  • Physical Therapy & Stretching: Exercises tailored to improve joint mobility and reduce pain, focusing on maintaining spinal flexibility and overall function.

4. Gout Management (Medical & Biological Interventions)

• • Acute Gout Attack Relief: Gout is caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to sudden, severe pain and swelling. We offer medications like NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and colchicine to relieve acute symptoms.
  • Long-Term Uric Acid Control: To prevent recurrent gout attacks, we use uratelowering therapies (ULT) such as allopurinol, febuxostat, and uricosuric agents to reduce uric acid levels in the blood.
  • Diet & Lifestyle Modifications: We provide dietary guidance and lifestyle changes to help manage gout, such as reducing purine-rich foods and alcohol consumption, and maintaining a healthy weight.
  • Biologic Interventions: For chronic gout or severe cases, biologic therapies such as IL-1 inhibitors are available to control inflammation and prevent joint damage.
