Rheumatology

specialties-rheumatology2 Maintaining mobility and dexterity is important to continuing in an active, healthy lifestyle. A variety of conditions and diseases can cause joint and muscle pain or injury. By using diagnostic ultrasound, a non-invasive, non-radiation technique, Rheumatologists at Rockville Internal Medicine Group are able to diagnose and treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. The ease of use of this tool, as well as other cutting edge resources, allows for ongoing monitoring and re-evaluation when necessary, and that allows for your doctor to make any necessary changes in treatment more easily.

SERVICES

Rockville Internal Medicine Group also offers PRP Therapy, or Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, a non-surgical treatment for joint injuries and arthritis that stimulates the body’s natural healing forces. PRP is a concentration of platelets, which can jump-start healing. Click here to learn more.

PROCEDURES

  • Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
  • Stem Cell Transplant
  • Infusion Center: Certain diseases require the administration of intravenous medications for an ongoing period of time. In the past, this was usually done at a local hospital, which caused significant inconvenience to the patient. In order to provide a less stressful experience, RIMG has created a relaxed, friendly environment for patients requiring intravenous infusions at our clinical site. The unit provides comfortable recliners and a TV with DVD capabilities. All infusions are monitored directly by a Certified Nurse Practitioner under the supervision of the ordering physician.
  • Ultrasound guided joint injections
