Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic condition in which the body's own immune system attacks the lining of the joints, causing swelling, inflammation and pain. This condition most commonly occurs in the hips and knees, and can lead to difficulty walking or moving, as well as a loss of muscle strength. Patients with this condition often experience pain even when the affected joint is not being moved.
Medical Weight Loss
Polymyositis is an autoimmune condition that involves an inflammation of the muscle fibers, resulting in weakness, fatigue, discomfort and weight loss. This condition most often occurs in the muscles closest to the trunk of the body, and is more common in women than in men. When polymyositis occurs with a skin rash in the affected area, it is known as dermatomyositis.

Internal Medicine
Dr. Shanahan received his medical degree from the UMDNJ Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, where he was a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society and received the Angelo P. Angelides Award for Excellence in Medicine. After graduation, Dr. Shanahan completed his internship and residency training in Internal Medicine, as well as a fellowship in Rheumatology, at Duke University Medical Center, serving as Chief Fellow for his final year.
Kidney Stones
Certain medications may also be taken over a prolonged period in order to lower uric acid levels and reduce the risk of complications such as kidney stones, kidney disease and other types of arthritis. These may include Benemid, Anturane and Allopurinol. These medications are usually administered after acute attacks have ceased.

Skin Cancer
Joey McCracken is board certified by the NCCPA and is a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants, the North Carolina Academy of Physician Assistants, and the American College of Rheumatology. His clinical interests include autoimmune disease and skin cancer and he has a special interest in biologic therapeutics and a passion for patient education.
Dermatology
Throughout his medical training and practice experience, Dr. Shanahan has co-authored several articles and book chapters, and has been a principal- and sub-investigator on clinical research studies on the latest developments in the field of rheumatology. He has also served as a reviewer for leading medical journals, including the American College of Rheumatology Abstracts and the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.
Lesions
Psoriasis is a common, chronic skin condition that involves a rapid production of skin cells that build up on the surface of the skin and form scales, patches and other unwanted symptoms. This condition develops as a result of an autoimmune disorder in which skin cells replace themselves much more often than normal. Many people with psoriasis may also experience psoriatic arthritis, which causes joint pain, stiffness and swelling in addition to skin lesions.
Psoriasis
There is no cure available for psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, but certain treatment methods can help control symptoms and prevent joint damage. Psoriasis can often be managed through topical application of corticosteroids, vitamin D or retinoids, while arthritis can be treated through anti-inflammatory drugs or other medications.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
This condition occurs as a result of an overproduction of collagen within the tissue of the body. While there is no cure available for this condition, treatment can help manage symptoms and suppress the immune system, and may include blood pressure medication, physical therapy or surgery.

Allergies
Before beginning his own practice, Dr. Shanahan was an Associate at Carolina Arthritis Associates in Wilmington. In addition to his practice duties, he also currently serves as an Assistant Consulting Professor in the Division of Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology at Duke University Medical Center.
