Autoimmune Diseases

Our Treatments: Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, leading to chronic inflammation and damage to various organs and systems. These conditions can be complex and challenging to manage due to their diverse symptoms and varying severity. At Shri Balaji Family Clinic, we offer specialized care for a range of autoimmune diseases, with a focus on accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing support, guided by the expertise of Dr. Vinod Girdhar.

Understanding autoimmune diseases requires recognizing the underlying mechanisms that cause the immune system to turn against the body. Normally, the immune system protects against infections and diseases by attacking harmful invaders. However, in autoimmune disorders, it fails to distinguish between foreign threats and the body’s own cells, resulting in immune responses that target healthy tissues. This can lead to a wide array of symptoms depending on the organs affected, including fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes, and organ dysfunction. Common autoimmune diseases include rheumatoid arthritis ( RA ), SLE, lupus, multiple sclerosis, scleroderma, psoriasis, vitiligo and type 1 diabetes. At our clinic, we begin with a comprehensive evaluation to identify the specific autoimmune condition and assess its impact on your health. This process includes a detailed medical history, physical examination, and specialized tests such as blood tests, imaging studies, and biopsies if needed.

The diagnostic approach at Shri Balaji Family Clinic is thorough and individualized to provide an accurate understanding of your autoimmune condition. Blood tests are often used to detect markers of inflammation and specific antibodies that indicate autoimmune activity. Imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRI, help visualize any structural damage or inflammation in the affected organs or joints. In some cases, additional tests like skin or tissue biopsies may be performed to confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of the autoimmune response. By integrating these diagnostic tools, we can develop a detailed and precise diagnosis that forms the foundation of your personalized treatment plan.

Treating autoimmune diseases at Shri Balaji Family Clinic involves a multifaceted approach designed to manage symptoms, reduce inflammation, and prevent further damage to the affected tissues. Our treatment plans are tailored to the specific needs of each patient and may include Ayurvedic medications and Rasayana therapy to modulate the immune system. We have many herbs in Ayurveda to treat autoimmunity. We also focus on managing symptoms and improving quality of life through pain relief strategies, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications. For some conditions, advanced therapies like biologics or targeted treatments may be recommended to specifically address the underlying immune mechanisms. Our goal is to provide comprehensive and compassionate care that not only controls the disease but also enhances your overall well-being and daily functioning.

Preventive care and long-term management are crucial components of our approach to treating autoimmune diseases. We emphasize the importance of regular follow-up visits to monitor disease activity, adjust treatment plans, and address any new symptoms or complications. Patient education is a key element of our care, as we provide guidance on managing flare-ups, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and recognizing early signs of disease progression. By empowering our patients with knowledge and support, we help them take an active role in managing their condition and maintaining their health over the long term.
