Gout
Rheumatologic and Autoimmune Diseases
Relieving Gout and Preventing Future Attacks
Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, most commonly the big toe, ankle, or knee. Attacks come on suddenly and can be intensely painful, causing swelling, redness, and warmth in the affected joint. Without proper management, gout attacks become more frequent and can cause lasting joint damage over time.
At Elite Medical Concierge, we treat acute gout flares promptly to relieve your pain, and work with you on a long-term plan to lower your uric acid levels and prevent future episodes. We evaluate contributing factors including diet, kidney function, and medications that may be raising your uric acid levels.
Our gout care includes:
- Uric acid level evaluation and joint assessment
- Anti-inflammatory treatment for acute flares
- Urate-lowering medication management when indicated
- Dietary guidance including purine-rich food reduction
- Hydration and lifestyle modification recommendations
