What kind of clinic do you want to take her to? Natural healing? Accupunctuist? There are many clinics that specialize on this sory of thing and that's probably your best bet.

I'm not sure yet.Probably,a clinic that deals with pediatric bones and joints inflammation.I'm certain that I'll have a good advice there.

She may have juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. I used to, many years ago, do laboratory work for a rheumatology department. Many university hospitals have rheumatology departments, and those that do probably have rheumatology clinics associated with them. From my own experience in association with such a university, I would recommend them.

The clinics are staffed by resident physicians who are quite knowledgeable about collagen diseases, a category that includes rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Some of the residents have several years' background in rheumatology. The clinic's residents are overviewed by long time experts in rheumatology and they have meetings to go over any possible questions on patients' care. The clinicians in general are quite up on the latest in research.
