When arthritis, lupus or fibromyalgia strike, they can turn everyday activities into a daily struggle. The pain can linger, the joints may stiffen, and simple movements become painful. Many patients feel trapped in a cycle of flare‘ups and medication trials, hoping for relief that never arrives. Dr. Shashank Akerkar, based in Mulund at Fortis Hospital, offers a different path “ one rooted in deep expertise, compassionate care and proven results.
A Clinician With a Lifetime of Experience
Dr. Akerkar has spent over two decades studying the complexities of rheumatic diseases. After completing his MD in Rheumatology, he honed his skills at some of India’s most prestigious hospitals. His practice in Mulund is known for combining the latest research with time‘tested treatment plans, ensuring each patient receives personalized care.
Understanding the Complexity of Rheumatic Disorders
Rheumatic diseases are notoriously difficult to diagnose and manage. Symptoms overlap “ joint pain, swelling, fatigue “ making it easy for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis to be misdiagnosed. Dr. Akerkar’s approach starts with a comprehensive assessment, including advanced imaging and laboratory tests, to pin down the exact nature of the disease.
Once a clear diagnosis is made, he builds a treatment strategy that may include:
- Disease‘modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) to halt joint damage
- Biologic therapies targeting specific inflammatory pathways
- Structured physiotherapy and exercise programs to restore mobility
- Lifestyle guidance “ diet, weight management and stress reduction
By addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of chronic disease, patients experience not only symptom relief but also an improved quality of life.
