Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment in Sacramento & the Bay Area
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is more than joint pain — it's a chronic autoimmune condition that can affect your energy, your independence, and your quality of life. At Premier Medical Concierge, we provide expert, personalized RA care delivered directly to your home, so you can focus on healing without the burden of travel or waiting rooms.
What Is Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of the joints, causing inflammation, pain, and over time, joint damage. Unlike osteoarthritis, which results from wear and tear, RA can affect people of any age and often progresses without proper treatment.
Common symptoms of RA include:
Swollen, tender, or warm joints
Morning stiffness lasting more than an hour
Fatigue and general feeling of unwellness
Symmetrical joint involvement (both hands, both knees)
Reduced range of motion over time
Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to slowing disease progression and protecting your joints.

Dr. Joey Kim is a board-certified rheumatologist with over 12 years of experience treating complex autoimmune conditions, including RA. Voted one of Sacramento Magazine's Top Doctors from 2021 to 2025, Dr. Kim takes a comprehensive, individualized approach — combining the precision of Western medicine with the restorative principles of Eastern therapies like acupuncture.
Your treatment plan may include:
Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biologics
Anti-inflammatory medications tailored to your disease activity
Acupuncture for pain relief and inflammation management
Lifestyle guidance addressing sleep, stress, and nutrition
Ongoing monitoring and care coordination with your other providers
