Pediatric rheumatology at Studer Family Children’s Hospital
The pediatric rheumatologists at Studer Family Children’s Hospital in Pensacola, Florida, have the expertise to diagnose, treat, and manage the care of children with complex autoinflammatory and autoimmune conditions.
Diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic conditions
Rheumatic conditions are caused when the immune system mistakenly attacks organ systems such as the joints, muscles, or skin. Symptoms of these conditions can include unexplained fever, joint pain and stiffness, joint swelling, and skin rash.
Your child’s rheumatologist starts by listening to you and your child. Diagnostic tests, such as blood tests, ultrasounds, X-rays, and MRIs, may be used to help diagnose your child's condition. Then, we work with you to create a care plan that is right for your child. In addition, if rehabilitation therapy is part of your child's care plan, we will connect you with pediatric physical and occupational therapy specialists.
