Center for Rheumatology & Bone Health

When they work properly, our bones and joints help us walk, dance, play sports and hug the people we love. Some chronic inflammatory diseases, however, can cause morning stiffness, redness and swelling, affecting people at any age. But, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Inflammatory and immune diseases can affect joints, muscles, ligaments and even many vital organs, but when they stand in the way of being able to enjoy your life, it’s time to find help.
