Welcome to the practice of Dr. Saurabh Chahande, a rheumatologist in Nagpur providing specialised care for people living with arthritis, autoimmune diseases, connective tissue diseases and other rheumatic conditions.
Joint pain, stiffness and swelling are among the most common reasons people seek medical attention. However, these symptoms can have many different causes. Some are related to wear and tear, while others are caused by inflammation or abnormalities of the immune system.
Understanding this difference is at the heart of rheumatology.
Our approach is centred on finding the underlying cause of symptoms, establishing an accurate diagnosis, assessing disease activity and providing an appropriate long-term management plan.
We believe that good rheumatology care begins with listening carefully to the patient.
Symptoms such as joint pain or fatigue can sometimes appear simple, but the pattern, duration and associated features may provide important clues about an underlying rheumatic or autoimmune disease.
During a consultation, attention is given to:
The objective is to bring these individual pieces together rather than treating an isolated symptom or laboratory result.
Not all joint pain is arthritis.
And not all arthritis is the same.
A person with knee pain may have osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, gout, a mechanical problem or another condition. Similarly, a positive autoimmune blood test does not automatically mean that a person has an autoimmune disease.
Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, lupus, Sjögren syndrome, scleroderma, vasculitis, inflammatory myositis and spondyloarthritis require clinical assessment and, when appropriate, targeted investigations.
This is why our focus is on:
Symptoms → Clinical Examination → Appropriate Investigations → Accurate Diagnosis → Individualised Treatment → Regular Monitoring
Dr. Saurabh Chahande provides evaluation and management for a broad range of rheumatic and autoimmune conditions.
Many patients come to a rheumatology clinic after experiencing symptoms for months or even years.
Some may have already undergone multiple investigations. Others may have been told that they have “arthritis” without a clear explanation of what type.
A major part of specialist rheumatology care is connecting the symptoms with the examination and investigations.
We aim to help patients understand:
Is it inflammation, degeneration, crystal deposition, mechanical stress or another rheumatic condition?
Autoimmune blood tests are interpreted in the context of the complete clinical picture.
Not every patient requires every test. Investigations are selected according to the clinical assessment.
The answer depends on the underlying diagnosis, disease activity and individual circumstances.
Inflammatory and autoimmune diseases may require ongoing assessment even when symptoms improve.
Painkillers may provide temporary relief, but many rheumatic diseases require treatment directed at the underlying disease process.
Our philosophy is to distinguish between symptom relief and disease control.
Where appropriate, treatment is aimed at:
Treatment decisions are individualised because every patient and every rheumatic disease is different.
Living with a chronic rheumatic disease can affect much more than joints.
Pain and inflammation can influence mobility, sleep, work, physical activity and everyday life. Autoimmune diseases may also involve multiple organs and require long-term monitoring.
We therefore believe that effective rheumatology care should include communication and education, along with medical treatment.
Patients should leave a consultation with a better understanding of:
What do I have?
Why is it happening?
What do I need to do now?
How will we know whether treatment is working?
When should I seek further medical attention?
Joint 360 represents a comprehensive approach to joint and rheumatic health.
The aim is to look beyond a single painful joint and understand the patient as a whole.
From inflammatory arthritis and gout to autoimmune and connective tissue diseases, rheumatology often requires looking at the complete clinical picture.
Joint 360 provides a patient-focused setting for evaluation, treatment and follow-up of rheumatic conditions.
Our primary practice is based in Ramdaspeth, Nagpur, making specialist rheumatology care accessible to patients from Nagpur and surrounding areas.
Patients may seek consultation for:
A patient may be referred to a rheumatologist because of:
Persistent joint pain
Unexplained joint swelling
Prolonged morning stiffness
Recurrent gout attacks
Psoriasis with joint symptoms
Inflammatory back pain
Unexplained muscle weakness
Abnormal autoimmune blood tests
Suspected lupus or connective tissue disease
Symptoms involving multiple organs
The earlier an inflammatory or autoimmune disease is recognised, the sooner an appropriate management strategy can be considered.
Dr. Saurabh Chahande is a rheumatologist in Nagpur providing specialist evaluation and management of arthritis, autoimmune diseases, connective tissue diseases and other rheumatic conditions.
Rheumatologists manage conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, lupus, Sjögren syndrome, scleroderma, vasculitis, inflammatory myositis and other rheumatic and autoimmune diseases.
Persistent joint pain, recurrent swelling, prolonged morning stiffness, inflammatory back pain, recurrent gout attacks, psoriasis with joint symptoms or suspected autoimmune disease may warrant specialist rheumatology evaluation.
Referral requirements can depend on the healthcare setting and your circumstances. Patients can contact the clinic to understand the consultation process.
Many rheumatic and autoimmune diseases are managed medically rather than surgically. The appropriate treatment depends on the diagnosis and individual patient factors.
No. Tests such as ANA and other autoimmune markers need to be interpreted alongside symptoms, physical examination and other relevant investigations.
