What Is Rheumatology?

Rheumatology is a field of medicine that diagnoses and treats conditions related to the joints and surrounding tissues, such as arthritis. A rheumatologist is a highly trained medical professional that has undergone extensive study. The most common conditions treated by this type of doctor are arthritis and auto-immune diseases. Rheumatologists also treat soft tissue conditions such as tendonitis and bursitis.

Arthritis Treatment

There are many conditions that come under the heading of rheumatology, but the most common ones are forms of arthritis like lupus, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia. Injuries, such as tendonitis and back problems, can also be treated with rheumatology.

Auto-Immune Disorders

In addition to affecting the muscles, bones, and joints, many diseases that are rheumatic are auto-immune.

Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and scleroderma are all examples of arthritic conditions that cause immune problems and therefore affect many aspects of the body.
