Bones, Muscles, Joints and Arthritis Care
McLaren rheumatologists throughout Michigan are committed to providing quality rheumatologic care and solutions for diseases of the bones, muscles, joints and arthritis.
Rheumatic diseases can be difficult to identify in the early stages and can have everyday symptoms that are related to more complex conditions. Rheumatologists treat more than 200 types of chronic conditions that primarily affect joints and connective tissue. They are experts in the complex diagnoses and treatment of arthritis and autoimmune diseases such as:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Osteoarthritis
- Psoriatic arthritis
- Gout
- Vasculitis
- Bursitis
- Spondyloarthro-pathies
- Polymyositis/Dermatomyositis
- Lupus
Rheumatologists are also trained in other chronic conditions that are difficult to diagnose and treat, such as fibromyalgia and polymyalgia rheumatic.
Rheumatic disease is progressive and many of the disorders respond best to treatment while still in the initial stages of the disease, leading to optimum outcomes. Ask your physician if you are a candidate for rheumatologic evaluation.
