The department is also equipped with state-of-the-art imaging and diagnostic tools such as musculoskeletal ultrasonography, birefringent polarising microscopy, capillaroscopy, and fluoroscopy-guided procedures.

Emphasising early diagnosis, personalised treatment, and long-term disease control, the team follows globally recognised clinical protocols to ensure high-quality care. Patient and caregiver education is an integral part of the care approach, empowering individuals to actively participate in their treatment journey and achieve better long-term outcomes.
