Comprehensive Care for Arthritis

If you’re one of the 53 million Americans dealing with arthritis, you need a doctor who offers experience, compassion and access to the full range of today’s treatment options. Arthritis specialists in the Sutter Health network include clinicians from expertise areas such as rheumatology, orthopedics, sports medicine and physical medicine, all of whom benefit from our network’s expansive resources. That means your doctor can provide you with an accurate diagnosis and a customized, comprehensive treatment plan that addresses your symptoms and meets your goals.

If you are diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, it’s important to get early treatment. You’ll work closely with a rheumatologist who has the high level of specialty training and expertise to diagnose your exact autoimmune disease and manage the complex immune suppressing and anti-inflammatory drugs involved in treatment. If you have osteoarthritis, your doctor may refer you for physical therapy, injections or medications to reduce pain and forestall joint replacement surgery.

Because arthritis is often a lifelong disease, our care teams approach your care holistically. You’ll receive ongoing disease management that may include medications, injections, physical and occupational therapy, and access to educational resources such as classes, support groups and nutrition consultations. Together, you and your care team will find ways to manage your symptoms so you can continue working, playing and enjoying life.
