The specially trained Rheumatology physicians at Idaho Arthritis Center provide expert
diagnosis and world-class treatment to patients affected by rheumatic
disorders. We use Musculoskeletal Ultrasound and Immunotherapy (also known as Infusion Therapy) to diagnose and treat our patients. Our high-complexity, CLIA certified lab allows our lab technicians to perform tests in-house so that treatment may begin as soon as possible. For our patients, this means getting back to daily life with less pain.
Considered a Rheumatologist's "stethoscope", Musculoskeletal Ultrasound is a novel approach to the accurate diagnosis and treatment of several forms of arthritis. Our state-of-the-art ultrasound provides excellent images of early joint damage, joint inflammation, tendon or ligament tears, and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The Rheumatologists at Idaho Arthritis Center were the first in Idaho to offer this remarkable technology.
