Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that causes symptoms of arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis affects the lining of the joints, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling. It may also affect other organs of the body including the heart, lungs and blood vessels. Rheumatoid arthritis is more common in women than men and it usually develops in individuals older than the age of 40. Treatment focuses on controlling symptoms and preventing joint damage, and commonly includes medication to suppress the immune system and reduce pain and inflammation.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes fatigue, as well as widespread pain and tenderness in the muscles, ligaments and tendons. People with fibromyalgia have specific tender points on their bodies that are particularly sensitive when pressure is applied. Fibromyalgia is also associated with sleep problems, headaches and trouble concentrating. Women are more likely than men to develop fibromyalgia, as are people between 40 and 60 years old.
Medical Weight Loss
While many people begin Pilates as a weight loss method, there is no proven evidence that Pilates is effective in helping patients lose weight. Successfully losing weight involves burning off more calories than you consume. Pilates may contribute to weight loss by helping patients burn calories, but patients must also eat a healthy, balanced diet in order to effectively lose weight.
Rheumatology
My current position as Clincal Associate Professor in the Rheumatology Department allows me to learn about the latest advancements in the field and offer these techniques and technologies to patients.
Ear Infections
Emergency Care
Colonoscopy
Constipation
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
It is sometimes difficult to definitively diagnosis food intolerance because many disease conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome, may present with similar symptoms. The patient may be asked to keep a diary of all foods eaten and to note any negative reactions.
Electrocardiogram
Because there is no specific test available to diagnose Kawasaki disease, an important part of the diagnostic process consists of ruling out diseases that can cause similar symptoms, including scarlet fever, measles, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. These and other diseases are ruled out through blood tests, urine tests, and heart tests, such as electrocardiograms (EKGs) and echocardiograms.
Diarrhea

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
In some cases, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis may cause eye inflammation and vision problems. Left untreated, it may lead to glaucoma, cataracts and blindness. Children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis may also experience impaired bone development and growth, and bones and joints may grow unevenly.
Cataracts

Internal Medicine
Kidney Stones
Left untreated, severe cases of gout can cause urate crystals (the salt of uric acid) to form nodules beneath the skin. These nodules, called "tophi," can form on fingers, toes, hands, feet or elbows. During attacks of gout, tophi may become swollen and tender. In addition, urate crystals can develop in the urinary tract, and lead to the development of kidney stones.
Endoscopy
Interstitial Cystitis

Multiple Sclerosis
At times, it is necessary for physicians to examine spinal fluid in which case the patient must undergo a spinal tap. This procedure is used to diagnose various spinal, neurological and brain disorders, such as meningitis and multiple sclerosis.

Depression

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Thyroid
Patients with autoimmune disorders, such as lupus or leukemia, are at greater risk of developing angioedema than the rest of the population. At times, some thyroid disorders or bacterial or viral infections, such as hepatitis, HIV, or Epstein-Barr, may make a patient more likely to develop the condition. In rare cases, angioedema runs in families. The hereditary type of this disease is a distinct disorder, requiring different treatments.

Ultrasound
Aspiration of amniotic fluid during pregnancy aids in determining certain fetal abnormalities. Because there are risks associated with this procedure, it is usually performed only when there is a perceived risk factor such as an abnormal ultrasound, a family history of birth defects or when the expectant mother is older than 35 years of age. Amniocentesis is helpful in diagnosing the following conditions in the fetus...
MRI
Polymyalgia rheumatica is diagnosed through a review of all symptoms and a physical examination. Imaging tests such as X-rays or MRI scans may be performed to view any inflammation of tissue within the joints. Blood tests are also administered to detect infection or other blood components that may indicate abnormalities within the blood.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
The physician may diagnosis splenomegaly upon physical examination, since the enlarged spleen is often easily palpated. This enlargement may cause the doctor to suspect hypersplenism. A patient history of infectious or inflammatory disease may also provide a clue to hypersplenism. The first diagnostic test performed is a complete blood count (CBC), since a low level of red or white blood cells, or of platelets, may indicate the presence of this condition. Other diagnostic tests may be conducted, including a liver function test, a CT scan, an ultrasound scan or a bone marrow biopsy.
Chemotherapy
Biological therapy is form of treatment that uses the body's own immune system to fight diseases such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and immune disorders such as Crohn's disease. Also known as immunotherapy, biological therapy aims to restore the normal function of the immune system or stimulate it to work against these conditions. It may also be used to protect the body from certain treatments such as chemotherapy. These treatments utilize substances called biological response modifiers, or BRMs, which are naturally produced by the body in small amounts to fight infection and disease. Through biological therapy, large amounts of BRMS may be produced to improve the body's immune system to fight disease.

Arthroscopy
In the most severe cases, Arthroscopic surgery may be necessary to treat osteoarthritis of the hand. Such surgery may involve joint reconstruction, in which damaged tissue is replaced, or joint fusion, during which two or more bones are surgically joined. In severe cases, surgery may be required to smooth irregular tissue surfaces, or to reposition or replace joints through arthroscopy.
Joint Replacement
Arthritis is a condition that causes pain, stiffness and swelling in the joints. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It develops as the cartilage protecting the bones of a joint wears down over time. Over the years, as stress is put on the joints, cartilage wears thin and sometimes even erodes completely, resulting in stiffness and pain. It occurs more frequently in older individuals, however it sometimes develops in athletes from overuse of a joint or after an injury. It commonly affects the fingers, knees, lower back and hips, and is often treated with medication, specific exercises, and physical therapy. In severe cases, joint replacement surgery may be suggested. Osteoarthritis tends to get worse over time.
Bunions
Arthroscopy
Physical therapy may be a successful form of treatment for some patients. Severe cases of osteoarthritis of the knee may require surgery to reposition the bones or replace the joint. Most procedures can be performed through arthroscopy, which significantly reduces bleeding, scarring and recovery times.

Cyst
Eczema
Food intolerance symptoms are most often digestive, but such sensitivities may also result in skin rash, eczema, mild hives, nasal congestion, throat irritation, sneezing and itchy, watery eyes.
Lesions
Also known as allergic angiitis or allergic granulomatosis, Churg-Strauss syndrome is a condition in which the blood vessels become inflamed and nodular lesions develop. This condition restricts blood flow throughout the body, potentially causing damage to blood-starved organs. Churg-Strauss syndrome is a rare condition that is not inherited nor transmissible. Since Churg-Strauss syndrome has many different symptoms, it is often difficult to diagnose.
Psoriasis
Psoriatic Arthritis is a type of arthritis that affects people who have psoriasis, a skin condition characterized by red and scaly patches of skin. Psoriatic arthritis is considered an autoimmune disorder and causes joint inflammation, stiffness and pain that may affect the fingers, toes, feet and lower back.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
During MCP joint arthroplasty, the abnormal joints and surrounding tissue are surgically removed. New parts made of silicone or metal are inserted in place of the old joints; these new joints will move easily, causing little or no pain. After surgery, the hand is usually placed in a splint or cast to promote healing. After a recovery period, patients often need physical therapy to restore strength and function to the fingers.
Occupational Therapy
Physical or occupational therapy may be beneficial to some patients to help manage pain and improve strength and mobility. Some patients find success with light therapy that may help to decrease the thickening of the skin.
Flatfoot Correction
TMJ Dysfunction
Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

Bunions Problems
When the condition of an individual with flat feet deteriorates, the person may suffer from pain not only in the foot, but in the ankle, knee, or back. It is also common for such people to develop bunions, arthritis, or another foot or ankle deformity. In such cases, medical intervention may become necessary.
Flat Feet
Pes planus ) are extremely common. While usually just a normal anatomical variation that does not result in any serious difficulties, this condition, which causes the feet to lean inward, or pronate, can cause problems over time. Infants feet are naturally flat because of the pad of "baby fat" at the instep. As they grow and begin to walk, their feet normally develop arches. For some children this does not happen and their feet remain flatter than average. While this condition is usually inherited, there are many individuals who have normal arches as children and young adults, but develop flat feet, or "fallen arches," over time. These individuals are said to have acquired flat foot deformity (AFFD).

Allergies
Angioedema is diagnosed through a complete physical examination and a review of the patient's symptoms and medical history. Breathing is checked to reveal any abnormal sounds. Allergy testing may be administered to identify the patient's triggers. If hereditary angioedema is suspected, blood may be tested for protein abnormalities.
