Your rheumatic symptoms and how you experience them are unique. That’s why we ensure you get the most personalised treatment possible, including:
- Antibody therapies. Your immune system makes proteins called antibodies when it fights an infection. Antibody treatments use these proteins to help your body fend off autoimmune and autoinflammatory attacks.
- Biologics. Developed from blood, proteins, viruses and other living organisms, powerful biologics (biological medicine) can stop certain immune responses. This helps us manage chronic autoimmune conditions.
- Disease-modifying antirheumatic medications (DMARDs). These therapies can slow the progression of rheumatic diseases like inflammatory arthritis. They can also help prevent permanent joint damage.
- Steroid injections. We can inject steroids directly into your inflamed joints and tissues to reduce pain and swelling. This treatment may help you avoid long-term damage.
- Joint surgery. When you have severe joint damage from conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, your rheumatologist may recommend surgery. Our surgeons often perform innovative, minimally invasive robotic and arthroscopic procedures. With these surgeries, you tend to have less pain and a shorter recovery time. You may also be able to leave hospital on the same day.
