Joint pain can be caused by infection, diseases, broken bones, cancer, tendinitis, breakdown of cartilage, fibromyalgia, gout, lupus, or even Lyme disease. However, the most common type of joint pain is caused by inflammation due to arthritis. According to the CDC, about one in four adults with arthritis—15 million people—report experiencing severe joint pain related to arthritis.

Once an underlying cause is diagnosed, treatment is important to reduce the risk of more severe potential complications. These complications can include joint deformity, paralysis, permanent damage and immobility, joint instability, or loss of sensation.

In-office treatments like injections directly into the joint also offer relief. These injections include epidural steroid injections, trigger point injections, or soft tissue injections. Custom-made Vitamin Infusions at SWCA Rheumatology are a proprietary option.

Vasculitis

Vasculitis is also known as “angiitis” and “arteritis.” It’s an umbrella term for a collection of diseases caused by the inflammation of blood vessels – the large network of arteries and veins in the body. Inflammation leads to the thickening and narrowing of the blood vessel walls, as well as weakened, blocked, enlarged, or even scarred vessels. Once this happens, the vessels’ ability to carry oxygen-rich blood to the organs and tissues of the body is compromised which may lead to blood clots, bleeding into the skin or body, or even organ failure. With vasculitis being such a far-reaching diagnosis, it’s important that such a complex disease relies on the expertise of physicians such as the team at SWCA Rheumatology. One of their doctors will listen to the patient, perform a physical exam, and order tests to first establish a diagnosis before moving on to bespoke and tailored treatments for each individual form of vasculitis including their custom-made Vitamin Infusions.

Gout

Pseudogout is a type of arthritis that causes spontaneous, painful swelling in your joints. This disease can cause short-term or long-term swelling in joints, most often the knee, wrist, shoulder, ankle, or elbow. Gout attacks most commonly occur early in the morning or in the middle of the night. They usually last between 3 and 10 days. People may have only one gout attack in their lifetime or they may have recurring gout symptoms over time.

At SWCA Rheumatology we have caring specialists that will walk you through how to manage and solve these bouts of gout. One of our specialists may prescribe different medications as well as advise you on how to tailor your lifestyle to reach better health.
