Your case is unique, which means your treatment will be designed around your needs. Often we will recommend treatment will be based on best practices treatments that have worked for other patients, consideration of your specific illness, the results any tests done as well as your personal preferences.
We provide treatments for these general conditions:
Arthritis
Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases are characterized by pain, swelling, and limited movement in joints and connective tissues in the body. Millions of Americans have some form of arthritis.
Arthritis, which literally means inflammation of a joint (where two or more bones meet), actually refers to more than 100 different diseases.
Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases are often mistakenly associated with old age, because osteoarthritis (the most common form of arthritis) occurs more often among older people. However, arthritis and other rheumatic diseases affect people of all ages.
Asthma
Asthma is a chronic, inflammatory lung disease characterized by recurrent breathing problems usually triggered by allergens (infection, exercise, cold air, and other factors may also be triggers).
COPD
A type of lung disease marked by permanent damage to tissues in the lungs, making it hard to breathe. COPD includes chronic bronchitis, in which the bronchi (large air passages) are inflamed and scarred, and emphysema, in which the alveoli (tiny air sacs) are damaged. It develops over many years and is usually caused by cigarette smoking. Also called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Ear infection
Ear infection, also known as otitis media, is infection or inflammation located in the middle ear. About 75 percent of children have at least one episode of otitis media by the time they are three years of age. Otitis media can also affect adults, although it is primarily a disease that occurs most often in children.
Influenza
Influenza (or flu) is a highly contagious viral respiratory tract infection. About 5% to 20% of people in the U.S. get the flu each year. Influenza usually comes on abruptly, with fever, muscle aches, sore throat, and a nonproductive cough. The most common form is Influenza A.
Sinus infections
Also called sinusitis is an infection of the sinuses near the nose. These infections usually occur after a cold or after an allergic inflammation.
Sore throat
Although many people assume that a sore throat means strep throat, most sore throats are not strep.
Urinary tract infections
Urinary tract infections describe a health problem that results from a bacterial infection along the urinary tract. An infection occurs when microorganisms, usually bacteria from the digestive tract, cling to the opening of the urethra, travel up into the bladder and/or kidney, and begin to multiply.

Diabetes
Diabetes is a serious disease, which, if not controlled, can be life threatening. It is often associated with long-term complications that can affect every system and part of the body.
Diabetes can, among other things, contribute to eye disorders and blindness, heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, limb amputation, and nerve damage. It can affect pregnancy and cause birth defects, as well.
Although diabetes is a chronic and incurable disease (with the exception of gestational diabetes), with proper medical care, clinical therapies, diet, hygiene, and exercise, symptoms and complications can be successfully treated and managed.
Flu Shots
Protect yourself against the seasonal flu by following the same advice you followed last year: Get vaccinated. Everyone who is at least six months old should get a flu vaccine this season.
Heart disease
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in adults in the United States. We strive to prevent heart disease among our patients and also work with those who have been diagnosed with heart disease to lead a healthy life. Heart disease (also known as cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease) is a term used to describe several problems related to plaque buildup in the walls of the arteries. As plaque builds up, the arteries narrow, which makes it more difficult for blood to flow. The narrowing of the arteries puts you at an increased risk for heart attack or stroke. Recognizing signs and symptoms of a stroke are very important for you and your loved ones.
High blood pressure
Also known as hypertension, high blood pressure is defined as a blood pressure of 140/90 or higher. Hypertension usually has no symptoms. It can harm the arteries and cause an increase in the risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, and blindness.
Immunizations
These shots are a technique used to cause an immune response that result in resistance to a specific disease, especially an infectious disease.
Impotence
Also known as erectile dysfunction (ED), impotence is the inability to achieve an erection, and/or dissatisfaction with the size, rigidity, and/or duration of erections. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), erectile dysfunction affects up to 30 million men.
Prostate
Researchers don't know all of the functions of the prostate gland. But they do know that the prostate gland plays an important role in both sexual function and urinary function. It is common for the prostate gland to become enlarged as a man ages. It's likely that, as a man, you may have some type of prostate problem in your lifetime.
Many prostate problems are quite common and may happen to men of all ages. These include prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), impotence, and urinary frequency, hesitancy, and incontinence.
Cancer of the prostate is also a common and serious health concern. It is a common form of cancer among men.
Thyroid disorders
The thyroid is a gland located beneath the larynx (voice box) that makes thyroid hormone and calcitonin. The thyroid helps regulate growth and metabolism. Disorders of the thyroid can have major implications on the body.
