Overview

Rheumatology is the field of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of arthritis, systemic autoimmune and inflammatory diseases affecting the body’s musculoskeletal system – joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments. These conditions are referred to as rheumatic diseases, and can cause pain, damage and inflammation in different parts of the body.

A rheumatologist is an internal medicine physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic diseases, including musculoskeletal, autoimmune, and inflammatory conditions.

When to see a rheumatologist

Musculoskeletal pain is common, and many people will experience some form of mild joint, bone, or muscle pain at some point in their lives. If the pain is severe or lasts for more than a few days, always see a rheumatologist.

Diagnosing rheumatic diseases can be difficult, as the early symptoms often mimic those of many other disorders. However, these symptoms could be the result of a more complex condition. An early diagnosis of rheumatic conditions, such as arthritis, is important as it helps avoid joint damage, reduce pain and limit impact on daily life.

Always see a rheumatologist if you experience:

• Joint pain or tenderness that isn’t caused by an injury
• Swelling in one or more joints
• Morning stiffness in the joints that lasts for more than one hour
• Joint inflammation causing joint redness and warmth to touch
• Muscle pain or weakness
• Symptoms such as fatigue, skin rashes, mouth sores, chest pain, or shortness of breath without a confirmed diagnosis

Our rheumatologists understand the importance of diagnosing rheumatic disorders as quickly as possible. They have the tools and expertise needed to provide you with an accurate and early diagnosis, ensuring prompt intervention with the most appropriate treatment plan.
