Rheumatology
Rheumatology is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the joints, soft tissues, bones, and autoimmune conditions that cause chronic inflammation. This specialty includes managing conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, gout, and fibromyalgia, as well as autoimmune disorders affecting other organs in the body. Rheumatologists aim to reduce pain, improve joint function, and maintain the patient’s health through medication, physical therapy, and other treatments, including biologic therapies.
