Personalized Treatment for Chronic Pain
Relieve Your Pain, Regain Your Life<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Even though 50 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, the condition is notoriously difficult to diagnose and just as hard to treat. On average, it can take up to five years and five doctors<\/a> for a patient living with inflammatory or autoimmune disease<\/strong> to get a correct diagnosis. If you\u2019re lucky, a provider might prescribe medication to ease your pain, but in most cases, your symptoms may be dismissed as psychosomatic \u2013 just a side effect of stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Rheumatologix in Knoxville, TN, rheumatologist Dr. Tonya Baker<\/strong> treats you with the ultimate in empathy and compassion. From your first consultation, she becomes your personal detective who, through an investigation of your medical history and the process of elimination, can unravel the mystery of your condition and discover the right treatment for pain relief. And because she\u2019s a direct pay provider, there\u2019s no need for a referral so you can be seen immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For most patients, a rheumatology consultation is their last stop on a years-long journey to find a diagnosis. For our patients, it\u2019s the start to a life with less pain.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
