- FibromyalgiaRheumatologists treat arthritis, certain autoimmune diseases (when the body comes under attack by its own immune system), musculoskeletal pain, and osteoporosis. There are more than 100 types of these rheumatic conditions. A few of them are rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, lupus, ankylosing, spondylitis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, and tendonitis. Some of the rheumatic diseases are very serious and can be hard to diagnose and treat.

- Pediatric CareRheumatologists must first complete four years of medical school and three years of residency training in primary care (either internal medicine or pediatrics). After taking a national exam to become board-certified, rheumatologists devote two to three years in specialized training in an accredited rheumatology fellowship program. Most rheumatologists who plan to treat patients choose to become board certified in rheumatology after their fellowship training. If the doctor has trained in internal medicine, the subspecialty exam and certification are by the American Board of Internal Medicine. Physicians who trained in pediatrics take their board exam from the American Board of Pediatrics. Rheumatologists who are certified by these boards after 1990 must complete an extensive recertification process every 10 years. This process shows they have kept their medical skills and knowledge up to date.

- MRIUltrasound can occasionally assist in staging the severity of rheumatoid arthritis, monitor treatment response and exclude arthritis in patients with tender joints from non-inflammatory conditions such as fibromyalgia. In some cases, ultrasound can provide detailed information that would otherwise require imaging with MRI or CT scan, thus avoiding exposure to radiation. Because we offer ultrasound imaging at both locations, testing can often be done on the same day of your visit to allow for more convenient and efficient care.

- PsoriasisOccurs in people with psoriasis, a chronic (long-lasting) skin disease characterized by a dry, scaly, itchy skin rash that most commonly occurs on the elbows, knees and scalp.
- Physical TherapyInjections are offered for a variety of inflammatory and degenerative conditions of joints (arthritis), tendons (tendonitis) and bursa (bursitis) when patients have failed to respond to conservative therapy that may include but not be limited to acetaminophen, topical or oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs), other topical therapies and physical therapy. Degenerative arthritis (osteoarthritis) involving the knees may respond to injections of corticosteroids and/or hyaluronate (viscosupplementation). Inflammatory arthritis, bursitis and tendonitis may respond to directed corticosteroid injections. Your provider will review these options with you if you are having on going difficulties that might be amenable to local injection.
