What do Rheumatologists do?
Rheumatology physicians, also known as rheumatologists, are medical doctors who diagnose and treat inflammatory and autoimmune conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system, including the joints, muscles, bones, and connective tissues.
They manage conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lupus, and gout through non-surgical methods like medications, joint injections, and physical therapy.
What they do
Diagnose: They conduct physical exams, take medical histories, and use tests such as lab work and imaging (X-rays, MRIs) to identify rheumatic diseases.
Treat: They develop personalized treatment plans to manage symptoms, control inflammation, and slow disease progression.
Manage chronic conditions: They help patients live with lifelong conditions that cause persistent pain, swelling, and joint and muscle stiffness.
Conditions Rheumatologists Treat
Arthritis encompasses rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune condition) and osteoarthritis (a degenerative condition).
Autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, can affect multiple parts of the body, including joints, muscles, and organs.
Osteoporosis: A condition where bones become brittle.
Gout: A type of inflammatory arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid.
Soft Tissue and Connective Tissue Disorders: Conditions like tendinitis, bursitis, and back pain.
When to see a Rheumatologist
You may be referred to a rheumatologist by your primary care doctor if you experience persistent pain, stiffness, or swelling in your joints that persists despite treatment. This could be a sign of an underlying autoimmune or inflammatory condition.
