Rheumatic diseases can be complex and difficult to diagnose. Rheumatologists gather information from a variety of sources to determine the underlying cause of a patient’s symptoms, including complete medical and family history, a physical exam, and other tests such as x-ray, ultrasound, CT, or MRI.
Services we provide after diagnosis include:
- Medications
- Physical therapy, exercise
- Occupational and hand therapy
- Stress management, rest
- Clinical trial
