Infusion Therapy
Our Infusion and Immunotherapy Center provides state-of-the-art biologic and nonbiologic infusion treatments for autoimmune diseases and chronic conditions. Specialized nursing staff administer therapies for rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, and immunodeficiency disorders in a comfortable 17-room facility. We coordinate with all major insurers to minimize out-of-pocket costs while offering convenient scheduling and personalized care during infusion sessions.
Osteoporosis Treatment
We offer comprehensive osteoporosis management including early detection through DEXA scanning and advanced treatment options. Our bioDensity machine provides non-pharmaceutical bone density improvement through osteogenic loading. Board-certified specialists develop personalized plans combining medication, lifestyle modifications, and innovative therapies to reduce fracture risk and improve bone strength for both men and women.
Interventional Pain Management
Specialized treatment for chronic pain conditions utilizes minimally invasive procedures and advanced techniques. Our double board-certified pain management physician performs epidural injections, nerve blocks, and radiofrequency ablation for conditions like spinal stenosis, neuropathic pain, and complex regional pain syndrome. The program emphasizes rapid pain relief and functional improvement through evidence-based interventional approaches.
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
On-site musculoskeletal ultrasound enables precise diagnosis and guided injections for joint and soft tissue conditions. This technology provides real-time imaging of tendons, ligaments, and joints to improve accuracy for procedures like cortisone injections and joint aspirations. Our certified technologists support rheumatologists in delivering targeted treatments for inflammatory arthritis and soft tissue injuries.
Clinical Research Studies
Active participation in clinical research provides access to investigational treatments for rheumatic diseases. Under Joanne Sagliani's coordination, we conduct FDA-regulated trials for new medications targeting rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and osteoporosis.
