The Long-Term Effects of Immune-Mediated Arthritis
Living with arthritis isn’t easy. Essentially, your immune system attacks healthy cells in the joints and, occasionally, other areas of the body. Over time, this can lead to long-term effects that impact both physical mobility and overall health. Some effects include:
- Ongoing pain that gets progressively worse
- Deterioration and progressive destruction of joints
- Ongoing and progressive morning stiffness
- Reduced range of motion
- Impairment in activities of daily life
Early Diagnosis: Why Acting Fast Matters for Joint Health
You want to maintain your quality of life as you get older — and that’s why early detection and diagnosis are important for rheumatic diseases. It can prevent joint inflammation from progressing, reducing the risk of long-term damage.
At ARBDA, we encourage you to attend regular evaluations with a rheumatologist. Utilizing advanced diagnostic tools, we can identify autoimmune disease markers early on.
The two primary forms of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, affect the body in different ways — but share a commonality that damages the body’s joints.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
In Rheumatoid Arthritis, the immune system attacks the joint capsule lining, or synovial membrane, which becomes aggravated and swollen. Eventually, this process can destroy the cartilage and bone within the specified joint.
Osteoarthritis (OA)
This is the most common form of arthritis. Osteoarthritis develops when there is severe wear-and-tear to the cartilage in a joint. With enough damage, the bones will grind against each other, resulting in restricted movement and pain.
How Does ARBDA Approach Arthritis Diagnosis & Treatment?
Whether you are just starting to experience painful symptoms or have been fighting arthritis for years, the top rheumatologists at ARBDA provide the latest, most advanced treatments available today.
Let’s start by answering the most common question our arthritis specialists get: How do you treat arthritis? Although there is no cure as of yet, there are treatment options that help reduce inflammation and relieve pain. This is what we offer at ARBDA:
- Diagnostic Ultrasound: We use sound to view your joints below the skin (instead of radiation), and our trained specialists analyze the results to determine whether or not you have arthritis and which treatment(s) you require.
- Therapeutic Injections: To treat specific areas affected by arthritis, our doctors can efficiently inject numbing medication and specific steroids to relieve pain and inflammation immediately. These services take only 10-15 minutes.
- Infusion Services: Our IDYLLIC Infusion Treatment Centers (all located within our offices throughout New Jersey) perform infusions that target specific aspects of cell inflammation. These revolutionary infusions treat inflammatory diseases in a new and effectual way while offering substantial savings (when compared to hospital-based treatments).

What to Expect During Your First Visit
We know firsthand that seeking care for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases or joint pain can feel overwhelming, so our goal is to make you feel comfortable and supported from the start.
During your initial appointment, your rheumatologist, a doctor trained who specializes in musculoskeletal conditions, will conduct a comprehensive physical exam and review your medical history to fully understand your symptoms and concerns.
You may be asked to undergo certain diagnostic tests, such as blood tests to check for markers like rheumatoid factor (RF), uric acid, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and more. Based on the findings, your board-certified rheumatologist will outline a treatment plan that addresses immediate symptoms and offers a long-term approach for managing your condition. We encourage questions and provide detailed explanations, empowering you to make informed decisions about your care.
