Autoimmune Disease Treatment in Manhasset, NY

Serving Nassau County & Queens

What Are Autoimmune Diseases?

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues. Instead of protecting against infection, the immune system causes inflammation that can affect joints, muscles, blood vessels, skin, and internal organs.

There are more than 80 recognized autoimmune conditions, many of which are evaluated and treated by a rheumatologist.

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent long-term damage.

Common Autoimmune Diseases We Treat

At Manhasset Rheumatology, we evaluate and manage a wide range of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, including:

Inflammatory Arthritis

• Ankylosing Spondylitis

Connective Tissue Diseases

• Lupus
• Sjögren’s Syndrome
• Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
• Myositis

Vasculitis & Vascular Inflammation

• Vasculitis

Each condition requires specialized evaluation and individualized treatment.

Symptoms of Autoimmune Disease

Symptoms vary depending on the condition, but may include:

• Persistent joint pain or swelling

• Chronic fatigue
• Rashes
• Dry eyes or dry mouth
• Unexplained fevers

Because symptoms often overlap, accurate diagnosis by a rheumatologist is critical.
