Arthrocentesis

Arthocentesis consists of removing fluid from a joint that is causing pain or is swollen. This procedure is performed to gather information that can help make a diagnosis, relieve pressure or to clear out fluid from the joint prior to a therapeutic injection.

Autoimmune and Inflammatory Diseases

With over one hundred autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, it can be difficult to receive a diagnosis. At DHR Health, a rheumatologist is specifically trained to diagnose and treat these illnesses. Treatment options can specifically target parts of the immune system to stop the inflammation causing damage.
