Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmune diseases are conditions where the body’s immune system
malfunctions and starts attacking healthy cells. These conditions can
attack several areas of the body, and typically result in pain, inflammation,
redness, and swelling. They can occur in anyone at any time, though they
typically develop in women.
These conditions have no cure, but they can be treated to alleviate pain
and symptoms. Our rheumatologists draw from numerous proven, evidence-based
practices to provide patients with effective pain management techniques.
What is Arthritis?
Arthritis is a very common condition that causes chronic joint pains. There
are more than 100 types of arthritis and they can affect people of all
ages, though they usually manifest in elderly patients. It can be caused
by disease, autoimmune disease, wear and tear on the joints, or infections.
The symptoms can come and go, but most people will experience chronic
joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and decreased range of motion.
Treatment for arthritis may involve pain medication, physical therapy,
joint repair or replacement surgery and integrated medicine such as acupuncture
or massage.
You do not have to live with arthritis pain. Our experienced rheumatology
team will develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific
type of arthritis. We utilize a variety of pain management techniques
that allow patients to regain their range of motion and live pain-free,
independent lives.
