Are you looking for a rheumatologist Birmingham MI?

To become a qualified rheumatologist, you have to finish at least finish four years of osteopathic or medical education, followed by a minimum three-year residency with a specialty in either internal medicine, pediatrics, or both, and end with a rheumatology fellowship lasting anywhere from two to three years. Once a candidate has learned everything they need to about chronic musculoskeletal diseases and autoimmune conditions, as well as how best to treat them, they are able to take the official board examination to become certified in rheumatology. The certification needs to be earned again every ten years. Rheumatologists are experts in finding, diagnosing, and treating a variety of painful conditions including inflammatory arthritis, autoimmune diseases, crystal arthritis, osteoarthritis, and more.

Inflammatory arthritis is a broad term that actually refers to a number of specific disorders including juvenile idiopathic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriatic arthropathy, adult-onset Still’s disease, ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease, reactive arthritis, and scleroderma. Inflammatory arthritis can have a diverse collection of symptoms ranging from mild swelling, fatigue, and stiff joints, to more serious concerns like inhibited mobility, reduced physical strength, and pain. Daily supplements are a must have for anyone suffering any kind of rheumatic conditions, especially inflammatory arthritis. Adding even a little omega-3, vitamin E, selenium, glucosamine sulphate (with or without) chondroitin, and vitamin D to your daily routine can have a profound impact on the consistency and severity of symptoms related to rheumatic diseases. If you think you may be one of the unlucky patients who experience worsening symptoms after eating certain foods, an exclusion diet can be helpful in determining what might be provoking your arthritis. The only way to be sure if you do or do not have a rheumatic disease like inflammatory arthritis is to see a qualified rheumatologist today.
