• Joint Fluid Test: This simple test analyzes fluid from your affected joint, providing crucial information to diagnose arthritis and autoimmune conditions, leading to faster treatment and better outcomes.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Rheumatologic care with Dr. Kenneth Bresky:

What is a rheumatologist and how can they help me?

A rheumatologist is a doctor specializing in musculoskeletal diseases and autoimmune conditions. They work with you to manage chronic conditions, prevent joint damage, and improve your overall well-being. They are a long-term partner in your health care journey.

What is the difference between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, often called "wear and tear," where cartilage breaks down. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the joints. Dr. Bresky's role is to accurately diagnose the cause to ensure the correct treatment is provided.

How is psoriatic arthritis different from psoriasis?

Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin condition causing rashes and scales, while psoriatic arthritis is a related condition that also involves joint inflammation. Not everyone with psoriasis develops arthritis, but it's a known risk. Dr. Bresky screens for and treats psoriatic arthritis to prevent irreversible joint damage.

What is vasculitis?

Vasculitis is a group of rare diseases where the blood vessels become inflamed. Symptoms can vary greatly depending on which blood vessels are affected. Prompt diagnosis and treatment by a rheumatologist are critical to prevent potential damage to vital organs.

What is Sjögren's Syndrome?

Sjögren's Syndrome is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the glands that produce moisture, primarily leading to very dry eyes and mouth. Management focuses on relieving symptoms and preventing complications like dental decay and eye damage.

What is infusion therapy?

Infusion therapy involves receiving medication directly through an IV in a comfortable, medically supervised setting. This method is highly effective for many advanced biologic medications, ensuring your body gets the full dose needed to control disease and prevent flares.

Can diet and exercise really help my arthritis?

Absolutely. While diet and exercise can't cure arthritis, they are powerful tools for prevention. An anti-inflammatory diet can help manage symptoms, and low-impact exercise strengthens supporting muscles, preventing further strain and improving mobility.

What are biologic medications and how do they work?

Biologic medications are a modern class of advanced medications derived from living sources. They work by targeting very specific parts of the immune system that cause inflammation, rather than suppressing the whole system, making them a powerful tool to prevent joint damage and preserve function.
