In autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks various parts of the body, such as joints, leading to inflammation and damage. Some of the rheumatic conditions we treat include:
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Gout
- Polymyalgia rheumatica
- Psoriatic arthritis
- Raynaud's phenomenon
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Scleroderma
- Systemic lupus
- Systemic vasculitis
- Temporal arteritis
- Wegener's granulomatosis
Gout is a treatable form of inflammatory arthritis caused by an accumulation of uric acid in the joints and soft tissues, leading to an inflammatory immune response. Left untreated, it can lead to joint deformities, soft tissue nodules, bone erosion, possible kidney stones and an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease.
An individualized care plan is the best approach to stopping gout pain and reducing its recurrence. Our plans may include short-term and long-term medications, dietary changes and weight management.
