About the Speciality

Rheumatology is the medical specialty focused on conditions affecting the joints, muscles, and immune system.

It supports patients with a range of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions that may impact mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life. The specialty plays an important role in identifying these conditions early and managing them effectively over time.

At KIMSHEALTH, rheumatology care is delivered through a patient-first approach, focusing on accurate diagnosis, ongoing management, and helping patients maintain mobility and long-term well-being.

Relevant Diseases & Conditions

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory arthritis primarily affecting the axial skeleton (spine and sacroiliac joints), leading to pain, stiffness, and eventual fusion (ankylosis) of the vertebrae. It is a prototypical type of spondyloarthritis (SpA) and often involves extra-articular manifestations.

Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR)

Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory rheumatic disorder characterized by pain and stiffness in the shoulder and pelvic girdles. It primarily affects older adults, typically those over 50, and is often associated with giant cell arteritis (GCA).

Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA)

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis, characterized by heterogeneous involvement of joints, entheses, and other tissues. It belongs to the spondyloarthritis family and can lead to joint damage, functional impairment, and reduced quality of life if untreated.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by persistent inflammatory synovitis, primarily affecting peripheral joints in a symmetric pattern. It leads to progressive joint damage, deformity, and functional disability if untreated, and is often associated with extra-articular manifestations.
