Rhematology team
Rheumatology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the musculoskeletal system and autoimmune conditions. Rheumatologists specialize in the management of diseases affecting joints, bones, muscles, and connective tissues.
Conditions commonly addressed by rheumatologists include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lupus, gout, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and other autoimmune disorders. These specialists use a combination of medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, imaging studies, and sometimes joint aspirations or biopsies to diagnose and manage these conditions.
Treatment options in rheumatology often involve a multidisciplinary approach, including medication, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and sometimes surgical interventions. The goal is to alleviate pain, improve joint function, prevent further damage, and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals affected by these conditions.
