We treat many different conditions.
We specialise in the treatment of an extensive range of auto-immune, joint and connective tissue disorders. Our team also communicates with your GP or other healthcare provider so they are aware of your current diagnosis and treatment plans.
Rheumatoid Arthritis, or RA, is an autoimmune arthritis. Your immune system attacks healthy cells within your body, resulting in swollen and inflamed joints and discomfort.
Ankylosing Spondylitis is a type of arthritis causing pain, stiffness and inflammation. It most commonly affects the spine, neck, back and pelvis.
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) causes inflammation to the larger joints in your body and the surrounding tissue. This causes all-over body stiffness, aches and musculoskeletal pain especially in your shoulder, neck and hips.
Osteoarthritis, or OA, affects the whole joint – the bone, cartilage, ligaments and muscles. It causes inflammation, pain, joint damage and deterioration of ligaments, most commonly in knees, hips, fingers and big toes.
Gout is a type of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid (a normal waste product of your body) in your joints. This leads to redness, inflammation and intense pain.
Scleroderma is a rare autoimmune disease that affects the connective tissues, causing them to become thick and hard. This condition can result in a range of symptoms, including skin tightening, joint pain and impacting other areas of the body such as the skin, blood vessels, and internal organs.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is the most common type of lupus (autoimmune systemic connective tissue diseases). SLE can affect multiple organs and systems in the body, causing inflammation and a wide range of symptoms.
Polymyositis is one of a group of rare inflammatory autoimmune diseases that primarily affects the muscles, causing muscle weakness, pain and difficulty with movement.
Sjogren’s Syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the glands responsible for producing tears and saliva, causing dry eyes and mouth. It may also cause fatigue, chewing or swallowing difficulties and swelling of the glands in your neck or face.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic illness, characterised by widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue. It is often more common in people who have inflammatory arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or after a viral illness or infection.
Haemochromatosis is a genetic disorder that leads to excessive iron accumulation in your organs, including the liver, heart, bones, joints and pancreas. This can cause fatigue, pain in your joints and abdomen and organ damage.
Spondyloarthritis can be classed as peripheral or ankylosing spondylitis. Peripheral spondyloarthritis mainly affects the arms and legs and includes four sub-categories.
Resources for our patients.
We understand that managing arthritis can be overwhelming at times. That’s why we offer a range of resources to support our patients. From educational materials and self-care tips to community support groups, we provide the tools you need to enhance your understanding of your condition and empower you to take an active role in your health.
