Autoimmune diseases are those in which the immune system does not work as intended. They can cause fevers, joint pain and swelling, rashes and a myriad of other symptoms in different organ systems. Diagnosis is based on medical history, physical exam, and sometimes lab tests and imaging. Some examples of the diseases we treat include Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Sjogren’s Disease.
Musculoskeletal disorders come in many types including osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, bursitis and tendonitis. These disorders can cause significant pain and immobility. Treatments include joint injections, trigger point injections, medications, bracing and physical therapy.
Bone health is a critical component of one’s overall health and mobility. As a Certified Clinical Densitometrist, Dr. Taba is trained in the reading and the interpretation of bone density (DXA) scans. She treats osteopenia and osteoporosis, or bone loss.
Lifestyle Medicine focuses on 6 pillars: Nutrition, Physical Activity, Restorative Sleep, Social Connection, Avoidance of Risky Substances, and Stress Management. Dr. Taba incorporates these pillars into her practice in order to promote overall wellbeing and health in addition to addressing chronic diseases such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.
