Our Comprehensive Rheumatology Services
Arthritis Management
Arthritis is a common condition that affects the joints, leading to inflammation, pain, and restricted mobility. Dr. Nidhi Dahiya is highly experienced in treating different types of arthritis:
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disease that primarily targets the lining of joints, causing painful swelling and, over time, joint deformity. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent joint damage.
- Ankylosing Spondylitis: A form of inflammatory arthritis affecting the spine, particularly the sacroiliac joints. It leads to stiffness and pain, especially in the lower back and hips. Dr. Dahiya offers cutting-edge treatments to manage symptoms and improve mobility.
- Gout: This form of arthritis is caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints, often starting in the big toe. It leads to sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, and redness. Our clinic provides targeted treatments and lifestyle guidance to reduce uric acid levels and prevent flare-ups.
- Reactive Arthritis: Occurs as a reaction to an infection in another part of the body. It can affect the joints, eyes, and urinary tract. Early intervention can help manage symptoms and prevent long-term complications.
- Psoriatic Arthritis: A type of arthritis that affects some individuals with psoriasis, characterized by joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. Dr. Dahiya works closely with patients to reduce inflammation, control symptoms, and prevent joint damage.
Through a combination of advanced medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments, we tailor arthritis management plans to each patient’s needs to reduce pain and improve mobility.
Autoimmune Connective Tissue Disorders
Autoimmune disorders occur when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, causing widespread inflammation and damage to various organs. Dr. Nidhi Dahiya offers expert care for these complex conditions:
- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE): A chronic autoimmune disease that can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, and other organs. SLE is characterized by periods of flare-ups and remission. Dr. Dahiya develops personalized treatment plans to reduce symptoms and protect vital organs.
- Sjogren’s Syndrome: This autoimmune disorder affects the glands responsible for producing moisture, leading to dry eyes and mouth. Dr. Dahiya provides specialized treatments to manage sicca symptoms and prevent complications like dental decay and eye infections.
- Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma): A rare autoimmune condition that causes hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues. Systemic sclerosis can also affect internal organs like the lungs and kidneys. Dr. Dahiya offers a multidisciplinary approach to manage this challenging condition.
- Vasculitis: An inflammation of the blood vessels, vasculitis can affect blood flow to critical organs and tissues. Depending on the severity and type of vasculitis, Dr. Dahiya designs treatment plans to control the immune response and minimize damage to the blood vessels.
Dr. Nidhi Dahiya’s expertise in autoimmune connective tissue disorders ensures that each patient receives targeted care to manage symptoms and protect organ function.
Chronic Fatigue and Pain Syndromes
Chronic fatigue and widespread pain can have a significant impact on daily life. At our clinic, Dr. Dahiya provides a thorough evaluation and compassionate care for:
- Fibromyalgia: Characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive issues, fibromyalgia requires a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach. Dr. Dahiya offers a combination of medication, lifestyle changes, and physical therapy to help patients manage symptoms.
- Unexplained Widespread Pain: Chronic pain without a clear cause can be debilitating. Dr. Dahiya works with patients to identify possible underlying conditions and provide pain management strategies, helping them regain control over their health and well-being.
We focus on holistic care to manage chronic fatigue and pain, improving patients' quality of life through personalized treatment plans.
Chronic Backache and Neck Pain
Chronic pain in the back and neck can severely affect mobility and quality of life. Dr. Nidhi Dahiya offers specialized treatment for conditions that cause persistent pain:
- Cervical Spondylitis: A degenerative condition affecting the neck's vertebrae, leading to chronic pain, stiffness, and nerve irritation. Early diagnosis and treatment help prevent further damage and alleviate pain.
- Radiculopathy: Caused by compression or inflammation of the spinal nerve roots, this condition leads to pain radiating from the spine to other parts of the body. Dr. Dahiya provides advanced pain management techniques to relieve pressure on the nerves and improve function.
- Sciatica: Often caused by a herniated disc or spinal stenosis, sciatica leads to pain that radiates from the lower back down the leg. Dr. Dahiya offers a range of treatments, including physical therapy, medications, and, in severe cases, surgical intervention.
With a focus on non-invasive treatment options, Dr. Dahiya helps patients manage chronic back and neck pain to restore function and reduce discomfort.
Finger Tip Ulcers, Raynaud’s Phenomenon, and Sicca Symptoms (Dryness of Eyes and Mouth)
These symptoms are often associated with autoimmune and connective tissue disorders. Dr. Nidhi Dahiya provides specialized care for:
- Raynaud’s Phenomenon: A condition where reduced blood flow causes fingers and toes to turn white or blue in response to cold or stress. Dr. Dahiya offers medication and lifestyle strategies to manage Raynaud's and prevent complications like fingertip ulcers.
- Fingertip Ulcers: Common in systemic sclerosis, these ulcers can be painful and difficult to heal. Dr. Dahiya works with patients to treat and prevent ulcers, improving their quality of life.
- Sicca Symptoms: Dry eyes and mouth, often seen in Sjogren’s syndrome, can lead to discomfort and complications. Dr. Dahiya provides treatments to relieve dryness and protect against eye and dental problems.
Thyroid Disorders
Thyroid dysfunction, particularly in the context of autoimmune diseases, can lead to a range of symptoms affecting metabolism, energy levels, and overall health. Dr. Nidhi Dahiya provides expert care for:
- Hypothyroidism: When the thyroid gland underproduces hormones, leading to fatigue, weight gain, and depression. Dr. Dahiya ensures precise diagnosis and treatment to restore normal thyroid function.
- Hyperthyroidism: Overproduction of thyroid hormones can cause anxiety, rapid weight loss, and palpitations. Dr. Dahiya offers personalized treatment options to manage hyperthyroidism and prevent complications.
