Rheumatology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating rheumatic diseases. This includes autoimmune and inflammatory conditions that primarily affect the muscles, bones, and joints but can also involve other organ systems. Because rheumatic conditions can be so widespread, they can present themselves in a number of ways. Common examples of these conditions include lupus, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis, among others. Our office uses a variety of diagnostic tools, state-of-the-art technology, and the most current medical knowledge to accurately identify and address your specific condition.
Treatment plans for rheumatic disorders will aim to control symptoms, reduce inflammation, minimize damage, and improve your overall quality of life. This often involves a combination of medications, lifestyle changes, and physical therapy to help you manage your symptoms and maintain proper function. Rheumatology doctors are continuously evolving with advances in medical research to ensure that patients receive the most effective treatment possible and to advance our collective understanding of these conditions.
