About Rheumatology

Rheumatologists care for patients with a wide array of systemic, inflammatory, autoimmune diseases as well as very common musculoskeletal disorders (e.g., osteoarthritis and osteoporosis) and sports-related injuries. These include but are not limited to: Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, lupus, Sjogren’s syndrome, scleroderma, sarcoidosis, osteoarthritis, gout and pseudo-gout, tendonitis/bursitis, osteoporosis, polymyositis/dermatomyositis, vasculitis, and polymyalgia rheumatica. Some of these are very serious diseases that can be difficult to diagnose and treat. Many types of rheumatic diseases are not easily identified in the early stages. Rheumatologists are specially trained to do the detective work necessary to discover the cause of swelling and pain. It’s important to determine a correct diagnosis early so that appropriate treatment can begin early. Some musculoskeletal disorders respond best to treatment in the early stages of the disease.
