Rheumatologist Brickell Miami Florida

Rheumatology Services We Offer

Functional Rheumatology

Functional rheumatology identifies underlying factors—such as gut health, inflammation, stress, and lifestyle patterns—that influence autoimmune disease. This approach blends conventional treatments like medications with nutritional guidance, stress reduction, and supportive therapies to help patients feel better and stay active.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment

Treatment for rheumatoid arthritis at our practice may include DMARDs, biologics, lifestyle guidance, physical therapy, and stress management. The goal is to reduce pain, protect joints, and maintain mobility with a customized plan.

Osteoarthritis Management

Osteoarthritis care typically involves physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, weight support strategies, and movement exercises. Nutrition and activity plans may also be included to support joint health and mobility.

Lupus Treatment

Lupus requires a tailored strategy due to individual differences in organ involvement. 

Treatment may include corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and lifestyle strategies such as nutrition support, rest, and sun protection to help manage symptoms and protect long-term health.

Gout and Autoimmune Disease Care

Gout care may involve uric-acid-lowering medication and dietary adjustments. Other autoimmune conditions, including psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, are managed with individualized plans that may include medications, exercise, and stress-management techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How Frequently Should I See a Rheumatologist?

The frequency of your rheumatology visits depends on the severity of your condition. Stable patients may need checkups every 3–6 months, while those with active disease or new treatments may require more frequent visits.

• Can Rheumatological Conditions Be Cured?

Rheumatological conditions are often chronic and incurable, but with the right treatment, it’s possible to manage symptoms and enhance quality of life effectively.

• What Is the Difference Between a Rheumatologist and an Orthopedist?

The difference between a rheumatologist and an orthopedist is that rheumatologists treat autoimmune and inflammatory diseases affecting joints and muscles without surgery. Meanwhile, orthopedists focus on surgical and non-surgical treatments for musculoskeletal injuries or structural issues.
