FAQ About Annual Physical Exam

What is the difference between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis?

Osteoarthritis is caused by wear-and-tear on cartilage, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that attacks the joint lining. CoreMed Plus accurately diagnoses the type to provide the right treatment.

Can arthritis be cured?

There is no cure for most types of arthritis, but symptoms can be effectively managed. Many patients at CoreMed Plus achieve excellent pain relief and maintain good mobility.

What are the best exercises for arthritis?

Low-impact activities like swimming, walking, cycling, and gentle stretching are highly recommended. CoreMed Plus creates safe, personalized exercise plans.

How does diet affect arthritis?

An anti-inflammatory diet rich in fish, nuts, fruits, and vegetables can help reduce symptoms. Our team provides practical nutrition guidance for arthritis patients.

When should I see a doctor for joint pain?

See a doctor if you have persistent joint pain, swelling, stiffness lasting more than a few weeks, or if pain interferes with daily activities. Early care at CoreMed Plus prevents worsening.

Are there injections available for arthritis pain?

Yes — corticosteroid injections or viscosupplementation (for knee osteoarthritis) can provide relief. CoreMed Plus evaluates suitability and coordinates treatment.

Dr. Mark Richter Bio

I grew up in Florida as the oldest of five sons. After earning my degree from the University of Florida, I pursued my medical education in the Dominican Republic. In 1988, I began my Family Practice Residency at the “old” Pontiac General Hospital. I have been providing medical care to the same community since 1991, first in Waterford and later at our current location in White Lake, where I continue to practice today. I take pride in being board certified by the American Academy of Family Physicians and remain committed to Primary Care. I am passionate about promoting a healthy lifestyle, including a proper “balanced” diet, exercise, exposure to healthy outdoor activities, and achieving work-life balance. I married my Medical School Sweetheart, Barbara, and we are fortunate to have two adult children and a granddaughter. We have been residents of Oakland County since 1988 and enjoy all that Michigan has to offer.
