Rheumatoid Arthritis
What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a debilitating autoimmune condition that causes joint linings to become inflamed. If not treated, RA can cause joint deformity and bone erosion, which can lead to severe mobility and losses of function in affected joints, particularly the hands.
While RA does not currently have a cure, early intervention and preventative care can minimize symptoms, reduce pain, and prevent the progression of disability.
Common Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis Include:
- Pain, tenderness stiffness, or swelling of in one or more joints
- Multiple
- Morning stiffness that lasts half an hour or longer
- Fever
- Weakness
- Fatigue
How is Rheumatoid Arthritis Treated?
The pain caused by RA is often managed with pain medications including NSAIDs like ibuprofen and Aleve. Drugs called disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are typically used to slow the progression of RA and prevent permanent damage to your joints and bones.
If conventional DMARDs have not eased your symptoms, your medical provider may recommend biologic infusions. While still DMARDs, infusions are a more aggressive form of treatment that is beneficial for providing a better quality of life for those suffering from moderate to severe RA symptoms.
Upon being prescribed an infusion, your doctor may still recommend that you take conventional DMARDs like Plaquenil, Trexall, or Arava to decrease symptoms and the likelihood of developing a permanent disability.

Patient Stories
PURE has found a way to put patient care First!!! With knowledgeable empathetic experienced staff to Private rooms with the ambiance and amenities of a 5 star Hotel!!!
A diagnoses requiring infusions is scary. I feel optimistic that my treatment requiring infusions in an environment like PURE Will smooth the road to a successful outcome for my overall health. Feeling Grateful………
When I arrived, I was introduced to Holly who was going to be giving me my infusion. Holly was great to work with. She was professional, informative, and approachable.
Finally, the suites were fully decked out with whatever you may need. Drinks, snacks, wifi, TV. The chairs were amazingly comfy.
I'm a huge fan and they have another loyal customer!
From a customer service standpoint they are amazing as well. The girl at the front desk was so welcoming and made me feel comfortable from the start and helped me sign up for the copay program for my medication.
They provide a pillow, plush blanket, a TV with streaming options, snacks, drinks and even buy you lunch. I joked with Natalie that it felt like a "white glove" or "first class experience."
I think providing those options adds to the patient experience in the sense that you feel comfortable and therefore less nervous. Natalie took great care of me during and especially after my infusion to make sure I was truly good to go before leaving their care.
Thank you all for a great experience. If I have to sit through infusions, at least it was with style, class, and real care!
Thank you for finding solutions and providing me with top-notch care.
made sure she was comfortable during the infusion and took the time to answer questions. The private rooms are really nice with your own TV/Netflix to pass the time. It's worth the drive to have my daughter's infusion at Pure Infusion.
The number #1 thing to me and one of the most important is their staff. Their staff is amazing, and some of the nicest and friendly people you'll meet. They're great at what they do and you always leave feeling better than when you walked in.
Additionally, the staff is way more helpful in my opinion in working with your insurance and communicating the progress of everything with you than other locations.
If you get IV infusions of any sort, check this place out. I'd bet money you will never go back to a hospital or other facility.
Great job!
The offices were clean and very well organized. They were able to accommodate every request to make me comfortable, and they even had water and snacks for my husband and I. They get a thumbs up all the way around. Great job!! Your customer service is impeccable. Kudos.
Thank you all so much! You have been the best part of this experience!
The best snacks and current magazines!
It's almost a spa experience you don't want to leave.
an environment that is conducive to one feeling just the opposite. I highly recommend the staff and organization".

The staff was amazingly nice, the suite was beautiful, the service was amazing, and the nurse did an amazing job. They seriously went out of their way for us.
Let's face it hospitals are not friendly places! They are sterile, uncomfortable and miserable.
