Services
We treat older patients with osteoarthritis or musculoskeletal problems that limit activities of daily living, and patients with chronic pain and fibromyalgia.
Consultation services for patients with diagnostic problems or abnormal immunology laboratory studies are also provided.
The Rheumatology staff emphasizes comprehensive care for the arthritis
patient. This includes instruction in appropriate exercises/ fitness
programs, physical therapy techniques and psychological support.
Facilities include an on-site intravenous Immunotherapy Center for the
administration of antiTNF agents and other newly released intravenous
therapies. Clinical studies to evaluate the efficacy of biologic agents
in development are available.
The Osteoporosis Center provides the most up-to-date analysis of bone
loss in this area. Equipped with two DXA bone densitometers, the Center
can precisely determine an individual’s bone density, and from that,
his or her risk of sustaining a fracture.
