Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term disease that affects 1.3 million American adults, or around 1% of the total population. It can affect any joint in your body, including those in your hands and fingers. Doctors don’t know exactly what causes rheumatoid arthritis, but they know some things that could be risk factors.

Our experienced doctors and therapists work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals. We use evidence-based treatments like biologics to stop joint pain and damage, and we offer regular monitoring and adjustments to ensure the best possible outcomes.
