Musculoskeletal Internal Medicine
Supporting your body's framework with expert care for joints, muscles, and bones, ensuring you stay active and healthy.
The Foundation of Your Health
Musculoskeletal issues can impact every aspect of your life. As internists, we diagnose and manage these conditions by considering your entire health profile, from bone density and inflammation to the impact of chronic diseases.
Arthritis Care
Managing pain and inflammation for osteoarthritis and autoimmune forms like rheumatoid arthritis.
Back & Joint Pain
Diagnosing the source of acute and chronic pain to create effective, non-surgical treatment plans.
Osteoporosis & Bone Health
Preventive screening and treatment to maintain bone density and reduce fracture risk.
Gout & Crystalline Diseases
Treating acute flare-ups and providing long-term management to prevent future attacks.
Connecting the Dots for Better Care
Unlike a specialist who focuses on one area, an internist evaluates how your musculoskeletal pain might be linked to other conditions. A rash could point to psoriatic arthritis, or joint pain could be a sign of an autoimmune disease. This comprehensive view leads to more accurate diagnoses and holistic treatment.
Musculoskeletal Health Questions
An internist is often the first to diagnose and manage common forms of arthritis like osteoarthritis and gout. We focus on pain management, lifestyle, and how arthritis impacts your overall health. For complex autoimmune conditions like severe rheumatoid arthritis, we provide initial treatment and coordinate care with a rheumatologist.
Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them more susceptible to fractures. Management involves bone density screenings (DEXA scans), ensuring adequate calcium and Vitamin D intake, prescribing medications to strengthen bones, and providing guidance on weight-bearing exercises.
Absolutely. We can help diagnose the cause of your chronic back pain, which can range from muscle strain to disc issues or arthritis. We manage pain with non-surgical treatments, coordinate physical therapy, and rule out any internal diseases that may be contributing to the pain.
