Arthritis is the leading cause of pain and loss of mobility. Estimates are that it currently affects nearly 350 million people around the world. The two most prevalent types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, but there are over 100 types of arthritis and related conditions.
At Beaumont, we have orthopedic doctors and rheumatologists who specialize in treating arthritis, so no matter what type you have and how severe your symptoms are, our arthritis specialists can help. We are nationally respected and a top ranked orthopedic program in Michigan – and we have orthopedic specialists throughout Metro Detroit.
Our orthopedic specialists diagnose and treat all types of arthritis – from conservative treatments to surgery. When our patients have rheumatoid or other “inflammatory” kinds of arthritis, we often refer them to Beaumont’s rheumatologists, who are experienced in medical treatment for autoimmune diseases. No matter what type of arthritis you have and which specialists are best for you, you can expect the experts at Beaumont to work together to provide you with the right care at the right time.
