Rheumatology focuses on diseases that cause inflammation and degeneration in the musculoskeletal system and autoimmune system. This includes a variety of chronic conditions that affect not only the joints but also organs, skin, and blood vessels. Rheumatologists are experts in understanding complex autoimmune responses and provide care to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and slow the progression of these conditions. Common symptoms can include chronic joint pain, swelling and stiffness, muscle weakness, fatigue, difficulty moving, numbness and unexplained weight loss to name a few.
