Kathmandu has seen growing demand for specialist rheumatology care as awareness of autoimmune and inflammatory joint disease increases across Nepal. At the Rheumatology and Arthritis Center (RAC Nepal), patients receive board-certified rheumatology expertise combined with physiotherapy, pharmacy support, and coordinated follow-up under one roof.
What rheumatologists treat
Rheumatologists diagnose and manage conditions where the immune system or metabolic factors affect joints, muscles, and connective tissue. This includes rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, gout, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, vasculitis, osteoporosis, and complex regional pain syndromes. General physicians and orthopaedic surgeons often refer patients when symptoms suggest inflammation rather than injury alone.
- Comprehensive history and joint examination
- Laboratory and imaging interpretation
- Long-term medication monitoring
- Flare management and treatment adjustment
- Coordination with physiotherapy and rehabilitation
The RAC Nepal approach
Our team focuses on precise diagnosis first. Many patients arrive after months of painkillers without a clear label for their condition. We explain findings in plain language, discuss evidence-based options, and respect cultural and financial realities common in Nepal — including the role of family caregivers in treatment decisions.
Established in 2004, RAC Nepal has supported thousands of patients with arthritis and autoimmune disease across Kathmandu and beyond.
Whether you need a first opinion or ongoing specialist supervision, expert arthritis care in Kathmandu should feel accessible, respectful, and practical — not overwhelming. That is the standard we aim for at every consultation.
