Gout Treatment Process

TREATMENT PROCESS

This is my current treatment process for patients with gout, please watch the video for full details. 

• 1st Visit - Evaluate your condition and determine if you have gout, infection, or something else. Usually, get an x-ray, order a blood test, and possibly give a prescription for pain medication.
• 2nd Visit - Will evaluate the initial treatments and if indicated perform an ultrasound examination and possibly a cortisone injection.
• Cortisone Injection - At times this is indicated to reduce pain in your joint.
