Rheumatology

At the DHR Health Rheumatology Institute, we specialize in treating a range of common rheumatic conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren’s Syndrome, Myositis Vasculitis, Gout and other connective tissue disorders. Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools, such as ultrasound and arthrocentesis, to provide precise and effective care tailored to each patient’s needs. With a commitment to improving quality of life, we’re here to support patients every step of the way.

Arthrocentesis

Arthocentesis consists of removing fluid from a joint that is causing pain or is swollen. This procedure is performed to gather information that can help make a diagnosis, relieve pressure or to clear out fluid from the joint prior to a therapeutic injection.

Autoimmune and Inflammatory Diseases

With over one hundred autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, it can be difficult to receive a diagnosis. At DHR Health, a rheumatologist is specifically trained to diagnose and treat these illnesses. Treatment options can specifically target parts of the immune system to stop the inflammation causing damage.
