We Diagnose and Treat the Following Conditions

Rheumatoid Arthritis

RA is a chronic inflammatory immune disorder, and it is the most common form of autoimmune arthritis. RA occurs when the immune system attacks tissues within the lining of the joints. The chronic inflammation in those tissues causes pain, swelling, and even bone loss, resulting in joint deformity.

Psoriatic Arthritis

Psoriatic arthritis is most commonly seen in patients with psoriasis. However, psoriatic arthritis can appear without any skin symptoms at all. Most often, the symptoms of psoriatic arthritis are pain, swelling, or stiffness in the joints. While this can happen in any joint, it is more likely to cause symptoms in the fingers/toes, feet, and lower back.

Lupus

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the entire body typically at the same time. Other forms of autoimmune conditions focus on one or just a few specific areas. With lupus, all of the body’s systems can be attacked all at once by the immune system. While not every individual case is severe, some lupus patients experience life-threatening illnesses from the disease.

Osteoarthritis

OA is the most common form of arthritis. Over 10% of adults will develop osteoarthritis at some point in their lifetime. OA is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when the cartilage in a joint starts to show signs of wear or breaking down. The reduction in cartilage causes permanent changes in the joint resulting in increasing amounts of pain as the condition worsens.

Gout

Gout is a type of arthritis. When your body breaks down certain natural substances, it produces uric acid. This process is an ordinarily quite harmless part of digestion, and the kidneys then eliminate uric acid. However, when an individual has gout, that uric acid builds up and crystallizes in the joints. The build-up of these crystals causes inflammation and intense amounts of pain.

Spondyloarthritis

Spondyloarthritis includes a group that consists of many different types of arthritic conditions. Most forms of arthritis are caused by inflammation and damage in a joint. What makes spondyloarthritis conditions different is that it primarily affects where the bones and ligaments connect rather than the joint. Symptoms are most often in the spine, but they can occur in the arms or legs as well.

Sjögren’s Syndrome

Sjögren’s Syndrome is an autoimmune disease that affects the tear ducts and the saliva-producing glands in the mouth. Patients typically have both dry eyes and dry mouths. It is commonly seen in patients who have been diagnosed with other autoimmune conditions.

Myositis

Joints are not the only parts of the body that can have inflammation. Myositis occurs when inflammation occurs in the muscle tissues. The inflammation causes muscle weakness (myopathy) and sometimes even pain. Symptoms of myositis can also include shortness of breath and cough or a painful rash.

Vasculitis

Inflammation in the blood vessels can result in several conditions, all known as vasculitis. Most of these conditions are rare, but they can all be quite severe. Chronic inflammation in certain blood vessels can restrict blood flow to vital organs, potentially leading to organ failure.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a disease that reduces bone density. Your body is continually replacing your bone tissues as older tissue breaks down. With osteoporosis, the body is typically not producing enough new bone tissue to replace the bone as that is lost. Without the new tissues, bones can become brittle or weak and may break easily.

Polymyalgia Rheumatica

PMR is a rare inflammatory condition that causes pain in several large muscle groups. Most typically, this includes the shoulders and hips. While there is no known cause for the disease, it is most commonly thought that genetics may make the condition more likely for some individuals.

Learn More

Scleroderma

Scleroderma is a rare autoimmune disorder that occurs when your body produces too much collagen. This collagen then builds up inside the body in a wide variety of places. The collagen build-up can cause an extensive range of complications over time. Eventually, the build-up can make it difficult for organs such as your lungs, kidneys, or heart to function properly.
