Is joint pain slowing you down or keeping you from the life you love?
Whether it’s a dull ache that never goes away or sudden swelling that makes movement painful, joint issues can affect every part of your day.

Take the first step toward moving freely again — schedule your consultation with Dr. Pala today.
Joint pain and inflammation can come from many sources — including arthritis, autoimmune conditions, injuries, or even infections. When the tissues around the joint become irritated or the immune system misfires, pain, swelling, and stiffness can quickly follow. Identifying the root cause is key to treating the problem effectively.
Ignoring joint pain can lead to more than discomfort — it can result in lasting damage to cartilage, tendons, and bone. Early diagnosis and treatment not only reduce pain but also protect your long-term mobility and quality of life.
With over 20 years of rheumatology expertise, Dr. Ozlem Pala takes a comprehensive approach to joint pain and inflammation. Her care includes:
- Thorough evaluation to uncover the true cause of your symptoms
- Diagnostic imaging and lab work when needed
- Personalized treatment plans that may include medication, joint injections, or physical therapy referrals
- Guidance on movement and lifestyle changes to protect joint health
- Integrative mind-body strategies to manage chronic inflammation
Her goal isn’t just to treat symptoms but to help you move better, feel better, and regain control of your daily life.
Your first visit starts with an in-depth conversation about your pain — when it started, what makes it better or worse, and how it impacts your life. Dr. Pala may recommend imaging or lab tests to determine the underlying cause. Together, you’ll create a treatment plan designed to relieve pain and protect your joints for the future.
Schedule a consultation if you notice:
- Persistent joint pain or swelling lasting more than a few weeks
- Sudden redness, warmth, or limited range of motion
- Pain that interferes with daily activities or sleep
- Morning stiffness that lasts longer than 30 minutes
These symptoms may indicate an underlying condition that needs specialized care.
