Conditions We Treat
Our specialists have extensive experience caring for patients with chronic and rare conditions like autoimmune disorders, Crohn’s disease, gout, inflammatory arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and more.
Managing a chronic condition can be difficult, and we are here to help. We offer various treatment options, including intravenous therapy, injections, and infusion therapies. We also provide educational programs and support services to help you manage your condition.
What Conditions Can Benefit from Infusion Therapy?
When you think of infusion therapy, you may think of treatments for severe medical conditions like cancer or rheumatoid arthritis. But infusion therapy can also help manage a wide range of serious and minor health conditions. Some of the conditions that can benefit from infusion therapy include:
Ankylosing Spondylitis
Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of arthritis that causes inflammation in the joints and ligaments of the spine. It may also affect peripheral joints like the knees, ankles, and hips. Normally, the joints and ligaments in the spine help us move and bend. If you have ankylosing spondylitis, the inflammation in the joints and tissues of the spine can cause stiffness.
Many people with ankylosing spondylitis have mild episodes of back pain and stiffness that come and go. But others have severe, ongoing pain with loss of flexibility in the spine. In addition, other symptoms may develop depending on which other areas of the body are affected by the disease. Some people with ankylosing spondylitis develop eye disease (uveitis), skin disease (psoriasis), or gut disease (inflammatory bowel disease).

Autoimmune Disorders
Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis
Gout
Gout is a type of arthritis that occurs when uric acid builds up in the blood. This can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints.
Hyperlipidemia
Hyperlipidemia means your blood has too many lipids (or fats), such as cholesterol and triglycerides. One type of hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, means you have too much non-HDL cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol in your blood. This condition increases fatty deposits in arteries and the risk of blockages.
Another way your cholesterol numbers can be out of balance is when your HDL (good) cholesterol level is too low. With less HDL to remove cholesterol from your arteries, your risk of atherosclerotic plaque and blockages increases. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) involves plaque buildup in arterial walls, which includes conditions such as acute coronary syndrome and peripheral artery disease and can cause a heart attack, stable or unstable angina, stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA) or aortic aneurysm.
