A rheumatologist is an internist who has undergone additional training in the diagnosis and treatment of arthritis and other diseases of the joints, muscles and bones.
A rheumatologist treats arthritis, certain autoimmune diseases, musculoskeletal pain disorders and osteoporosis. There are more than 100 types of these diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, gout, lupus, back pain, fibromyalgia and tendonitis. Some of these are very serious diseases that can be difficult to diagnose and treat.
Early detection (not diagnostic), then need diagnostic testing
Screens 50+ cancers by checking +100,000 DNA regions
Galleri is an early detection (non diagnostic) cancer screening test designed to detect 50+ cancers at an early stage by analyzing over 100,000 DNA regions associated with different cancer types. The goal is to identify cancer even before symptoms appear, when treatment options are often more effective.

Intravenous therapy, often abbreviated as IV therapy, is a medical treatment that involves delivering fluids, medications, blood products, or nutrients directly into a person’s bloodstream through a vein. This method of administration allows for rapid and efficient absorption of these substances, making it a valuable tool in healthcare for various purposes including, but not limited to, fluid replacement, medication delivery, nutritional support, and specialized IV therapies.
Biological drug therapy, also known as biologic therapy or biologics, is a type of medical treatment that involves the use of genetically-engineered proteins derived from living cells. These proteins target specific cells or proteins in the body that play a role in disease processes. Biological drugs are commonly used to treat chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease. They are typically administered by injection or infusion and may require regular monitoring to ensure their effectiveness and minimize potential side effects.

Hyaluronic acid intra-articular injections, also known simply as viscosupplementation, is a medical treatment used to alleviate pain and improve joint function in individuals with osteoarthritis, particularly in the knee. These injections involve the injection of hyaluronic acid directly into the affected joint. It is believed that the injected hyaluronic acid acts as a lubricant and shock absorber within the joint, reducing pain and improving joint function. It may also have anti-inflammatory properties. The goal of these injections is to provide pain relief and improve joint function. Some individuals may experience relief of symptoms for several months, while others may find it beneficial for a shorter duration.
Corticosteroid intra-articular injections, often simply referred to as corticosteroid injections or joint injections, are a medical treatment commonly used to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling in joints affected by various conditions, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory joint disorders. Corticosteroids are synthetic drugs that mimic the natural hormones produced by the adrenal glands, such as cortisol. They have potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties, making them effective at reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune response. Corticosteroids work by suppressing the inflammatory response in the joint. They inhibit the production of inflammatory chemicals and immune cells responsible for the inflammatory process. This helps reduce pain, swelling, and joint stiffness.
The primary purpose of a bone density scan is to evaluate the risk of fractures and assess bone health. It is commonly used to diagnose osteoporosis and to monitor changes in bone density over time. A bone density scan, also known as bone densitometry or dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA or DEXA), is a medical imaging test used to measure the density and strength of a person’s bones, primarily in the hip and spine regions. This test helps diagnose and assess conditions such as osteoporosis, which is characterized by reduced bone density and increased bone fragility. Treatment may include lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and medication to strengthen bones.

Advanced body composition refers to a comprehensive and detailed assessment of an individual’s body composition, which is the proportion of various components that make up the body, including muscle, fat, bone, and water. While basic body composition analysis might involve measuring just total body fat percentage, advanced body composition analysis provides a more nuanced and precise understanding of how these components are distributed throughout the body. Advanced body composition analysis is valuable in various fields, including sports science, fitness and nutrition, clinical medicine, and research. It helps individuals and healthcare professionals make informed decisions about health, fitness, and treatment plans. Additionally, it can provide insights into overall health and identify potential health risks associated with body composition. This information can be used to tailor nutrition, exercise, and medical interventions to an individual’s specific needs and goals.
Power Doppler sonography, also known as power Doppler ultrasound, is a medical imaging technique used to assess blood flow within the body, particularly in blood vessels and various organs. It is a specialized form of Doppler ultrasound that provides information about the presence and direction of blood flow, as well as the relative velocity and intensity of blood flow, but without providing detailed information about the speed or direction of flow.
