Arthritis isn't one disease. It shouldn't get one treatment.
The right diagnosis changes everything. A specialist assessment that identifies exactly what's driving your joint pain — and treats that, not just the symptom.

Dr. Ashish Jindal is a Consultant Rheumatologist and Faculty at AIMS Mohali. After his MD, he completed his senior residency at PGIMER Chandigarh. He is a Fellow of the American College of Rheumatology and EULAR-certified in rheumatology.
Rheumatic and autoimmune conditions are often subtle, overlapping and slow to reveal themselves. His focus is on reaching a precise diagnosis, building a treatment plan around it, and staying with each patient through the long course these conditions can take. Alongside clinical practice, he teaches and mentors the next generation of physicians.
Clear, in-depth discussions on arthritis, lupus and inflammatory conditions — what the symptoms mean, how treatment really works, and how to live fully alongside a long-term diagnosis.
Rheumatic disease often starts quietly. If any of these sound familiar, it is worth having them properly assessed.
Swollen, tender joints — often the hands, wrists and feet on both sides — with stiffness that is worst in the morning or after rest and eases as the day goes on.
Persistent lower-back and hip pain in younger adults that improves with movement and worsens with rest, sometimes with heel pain or swollen fingers and toes.
Sudden attacks of intense pain, redness and heat in a joint — classically the big toe — that often begin at night and settle over days.
Wear-related pain in the knees, hips or hands, and stubborn tendon or shoulder pain. Managed with a practical plan and ultrasound-guided injections where they help.
Unexplained fatigue, skin rashes, hair loss or aching joints affecting several parts of the body at once — worth assessing when symptoms don't add up.
Joint pain, swelling or stiffness in someone with psoriasis — sometimes a whole finger or toe swells, along with nail changes or heel pain.
