Mark W. Nelson, M.D.
Arthritis Doctor Rheumatology & Internal Medicine

Timely Treatments for Arthritis, Autoimmune Diseases & Pain Management

Dr. Nelson takes the guess work out of treatment by using state-of-the-art methods for evaluation and diagnosis. Understanding our patients lifestyle, work requirements, pain levels and physical limitations or disabilities help guide us in determining what course of action to take for treatment.  The first step is your consultation appointment with Dr. Nelson. In your consultation visit, he will review your medical history.  In particular, we will look at the course your illness has taken and efforts you've tried for relief of your symptoms.

A plan of action

You gain control by learning about your disorder and the methods we recommend for your personal treatment.  In having a plan of treatment, you'll gain hope.  In following the treatment plan, you'll soon enjoy the pleasures you thought were lost forever.  The goal is to protect affected joints, maintain as much movement as possible, and strengthen surrounding bones, muscles and ligament so you'll feel renewed and revitalized.   

Just as there are different types of pain, there are different types of treatment. Each person with arthritis requires their own treatment and pain management plan. What works for some may not work for others.  This is why we work with you to determine a plan of action best for you.
