What We Treat

Diseases of the joints, muscles and bones

There are over 100 different types of arthritic and rheumatic disorders. At Bay Area Arthritis Care, we utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment technologies to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Swelling, stiffness, and pain are the hallmark symptoms of many arthritic disorders. These conditions can stem from a wide range of causes, including degenerative, autoimmune, metabolic, or infection-triggered factors. Because these diseases can progress to permanent joint damage without an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment, early medical intervention is essential.
