Arthritis & Autoimmune Disorders

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system attacks and damages the organs and tissue of its own tissue. No one is sure exactly what causes autoimmune diseases but we know the immune system loses self tolerance. The classic sign of an autoimmune disease is inflammation, which can cause redness, heat, pain and swelling.

Conditions We Treat

Cape Fear Arthritis Care - Inflammatory Arthritis

Inflammatory Arthritis

Inflammatory arthritis affects over 10 million people in the United States each year. It is a group of diseases characterized by inflammation of the joints and often other tissues. These include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) among others.

Cape Fear Arthritis Care - Gout

Gout

Gout is a painful form of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid – also known as hyperuricemia. This can cause needle-like crystals to be deposited in the joints. Your body’s immune system reacts to this buildup of uric acid crystals by activating certain inflammatory cells, causing the pain associated with a gout attack.

Cape Fear Arthritis Care - Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis, which literally means porous bone, is a condition in which the bones become weak and brittle. When bones are affected by osteoporosis, they become porous and fragile. This makes bones less dense, weaker and susceptible to breaking. The loss of bone occurs silently and progressively. There are no symptoms until the first fracture occurs.

Cape Fear Arthritis Care - Ultrasound

Ultrasound

An ultrasound scan, also known as sonography, is a medical exam that uses high-frequency sound waves, not radiation, to obtain live images from the inside of your body. Ultrasound exams allow providers to see problems with organs, vessels, and tissues without needing to make an incision.
