Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the joints and can affect other parts of the body.

Symptoms commonly include joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and prolonged morning stiffness. Early recognition and treatment are important because uncontrolled inflammation can lead to permanent joint damage. Patients with suspected or established rheumatoid arthritis may be referred to a rheumatologist for specialized treatment while our office assists with ongoing medical care and monitoring.
