Outpatient Specialty Care for Rheumatic Diseases
We take a comprehensive and individualized approach to diagnosing and managing rheumatic diseases. After a careful evaluation and confirmation of your diagnosis, we work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan designed to help reduce pain, control inflammation, preserve joint function, and improve your overall quality of life.
Treatment for rheumatic conditions is multifaceted and often involves a combination of medical therapy and lifestyle strategies. This may include medications to manage pain and inflammation, disease-modifying therapies when appropriate, as well as supportive measures such as regular low-impact exercise, physical activity tailored to your abilities, stress management techniques, a balanced anti-inflammatory diet, and adequate rest to support healing and energy balance.
At Arthritis Clinic of Central Texas, Dr. Salinas is committed to partnering with you throughout your care journey. She will take the time to understand your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals in order to tailor a treatment approach that is both effective and sustainable for you. We believe that patient education plays a key role in long-term success, and we ensure you have the knowledge and support needed to actively participate in your care decisions.
While a rheumatic diagnosis can feel overwhelming, many patients are able to achieve meaningful improvement and maintain active, fulfilling lives with consistent treatment and support. Our goal is to help you better understand your condition, feel empowered in your care, and live well despite your diagnosis.

Limited Diagnostic Ultrasonography
Limited diagnostic ultrasonography is an imaging technique for the diagnosis and follow up for patients with rheumatic diseases. We use this method commonly for the use of assessment of soft tissue disease and the detection of fluid collection. It also visualizes other structures, such as cartilage and bone surfaces. We ultimately use this method to monitor treatment.
