We specialize in treating many rheumatic conditions. Our care team customizes treatment plans for each person and focuses on helping them live their life to the fullest while managing symptoms such as pain.
Treatment may include one or more options, such as:
Depending on your diagnosis and lifestyle, medication may be right for you. Your doctor will discuss medication options with you, their possible side effects and alternative options.
Intra-articular and soft tissue injections and aspirations may be helpful for many musculoskeletal conditions. These injections typically contain local anesthetic for pain relief and corticosteroids to help treat inflammation. Some injections may be called cortisone shots.
Treating the whole body can help manage symptoms and damage. Our specialists will work within your abilities and create a fitness routine that works.
Eating well can help manage symptoms of many diseases. Anti-inflammatory diets can be particularly helpful to those with musculoskeletal health concerns. Our specialists will work with you to develop a plan that meets your health needs and keeps your preferences in mind.
Your friendly neighborhood internists trained in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal and systemic autoimmune disease.

Your rheumatic condition is unique to you. We believe its care should be, too. That's why we start by listening. Your story and concerns are crucial to crafting a personalized plan that manages your symptoms and addresses your personal needs.
Here, treatment isn't one-size-fits-all. Everyone's preferences and needs are slightly different. Whenever possible, we present multiple care options, including medication, therapeutic injections and exercise and nutrition plans.
Muscle, joint and bone conditions tend to call for multiple areas of care. We routinely work closely with other WellSpan specialists for comprehensive care that feels seamless.
