Autoimmune and inflammatory conditions can affect the body in many different ways. For some patients, one of the most persistent challenges is recurring joint pain, muscle pain, stiffness, swelling or inflammation that makes it harder to stay active and comfortable.
Because these conditions vary significantly from one person to another, there is no single approach that is appropriate for everyone.
At RegenHaus Medical in Alpharetta, we take an individualized approach to evaluating musculoskeletal pain and inflammation in patients living with autoimmune, inflammatory and related chronic conditions. Our medical team considers your existing diagnosis, symptoms, medical history, current treatments, activity level and personal goals when determining whether additional treatment options may be appropriate.
RegenHaus Medical serves patients from Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell, Johns Creek, Duluth, Suwanee, Cumming, South Forsyth, Buckhead and North Atlanta.
The immune system normally helps protect the body from infection and disease. With autoimmune disease, the immune system mistakenly targets the body’s own tissues.
Depending on the condition, this may affect the joints, muscles, connective tissues, skin or other areas of the body.
Inflammation is also part of the body ‘s natural response to injury and illness. When inflammation becomes persistent or is associated with an underlying inflammatory condition, patients may experience ongoing pain, stiffness, swelling, fatigue and changes in mobility.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect multiple areas of the body. Some patients experience joint pain, muscle aches, stiffness, swelling and fatigue that can interfere with daily activity and mobility.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that primarily affects the joints and can contribute to persistent joint pain, swelling, stiffness and reduced movement.
Psoriatic arthritis is an inflammatory form of arthritis associated with psoriasis. It may affect joints as well as areas where tendons and ligaments attach to bone, contributing to pain, swelling and stiffness.
Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory condition that commonly affects the spine and surrounding joints and ligaments. Back pain and stiffness are common, although other joints may also be involved.
Sjögren's disease is an autoimmune condition that is often associated with dry eyes and dry mouth but may also cause joint pain, muscle pain, stiffness and fatigue.
Scleroderma is an autoimmune condition involving changes in connective tissue. Depending on the individual, symptoms may affect the skin, joints, muscles and other areas of the body.
Inflammatory myositis refers to a group of conditions involving inflammation of the muscles. Muscle weakness, fatigue and discomfort can affect mobility and everyday physical activity.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition associated with widespread pain and tenderness, fatigue and sleep-related symptoms. Although fibromyalgia is not classified as an autoimmune disease, it may occur alongside rheumatic or autoimmune conditions and can significantly affect a patient's comfort, mobility and quality of life. Patients may have one condition or several overlapping health concerns. RegenHaus Medical evaluates the individual symptoms affecting joints, muscles and mobility rather than assuming that every patient with the same diagnosis requires the same approach.
Chronic or recurring pain and inflammation can gradually change the way people approach everyday activities.
Joint pain may make walking, exercising or climbing stairs more difficult. Muscle discomfort or fatigue may make it harder to maintain a regular fitness routine. Stiffness can be particularly noticeable after rest or first thing in the morning.
Some patients also experience periods when their symptoms are relatively manageable followed by times when pain, stiffness or inflammation becomes more noticeable.
When these symptoms begin affecting mobility, physical activity or quality of life, patients may want to explore additional options alongside the medical care they are already receiving.
Depending on the patient, the symptoms being evaluated and clinical findings, RegenHaus Medical may discuss regenerative or orthobiologic treatment options as part of an individualized care plan.
Available services include:
These treatments are not automatically appropriate because a patient has an autoimmune or inflammatory condition.
The medical team considers the individual’s health history, existing treatment, the specific musculoskeletal problem being addressed and other relevant factors before discussing whether a RegenHaus therapy may be appropriate.
A diagnosis alone does not determine treatment.
Two people with the same autoimmune or inflammatory condition may experience very different symptoms, levels of pain and physical limitations.
One patient may primarily struggle with knee or hip pain. Another may experience stiffness involving several joints. Others may be more affected by muscle discomfort, widespread pain or activity-related symptoms.
RegenHaus Medical evaluates the specific musculoskeletal concerns affecting the individual rather than treating every patient with the same diagnosis the same way.
For some patients, the primary reason for visiting RegenHaus Medical is not the underlying diagnosis itself but the joint and muscle pain associated with it.
Pain, stiffness and reduced mobility may affect the:
Evaluating the specific area causing pain or limiting movement helps the medical team determine what may be contributing to the symptoms and what options should be considered.
Living with an autoimmune, inflammatory or chronic pain condition does not mean every patient has the same physical limitations.
Many people want to continue walking, exercising, golfing, playing pickleball, traveling, gardening or participating in other activities that are important to them.
When joint pain, muscle discomfort, widespread pain or inflammation begins interfering with those activities, the goal is to better understand the symptoms and identify reasonable options for maintaining as much mobility and activity as possible.
