Rheumatology is the study and treatment of rheumatic disorders, a wide range of conditions affecting the joints and connective tissue and typically causing chronic pain to sufferers. The rheumatologists, internists, orthopedists, and care providers are highly skilled at diagnosing and treating rheumatic disorders. Our physicians can offer comprehensive therapeutic services to those suffering from many musculoskeletal problems. .

Our doctors and specialists use medical and family history, physical exams, x-rays, and lab tests to diagnose rheumatic disorders. Preventative treatments may include patient education, physical programs, and lifestyle changes. Treatment options for rheumatic disorders, like the conditions themselves, vary widely in style and scope. Our physicians use the most modern techniques and treatments available to help patients reduce pain, cope with the physical and mental effects of rheumatic disease and lead full and active lives. .

Rheumatologists have been specially trained to examine areas of pain and swelling and to discover the root cause. As some disorders respond better to treatment in their primary stages, it's important to get a correct diagnosis as early as possible. Due to the complexity of rheumatic disorders, patients may require more than one visit to the rheumatologist. Rheumatic conditions often change over time, so long-term planning and a forethinking approach are necessary, and it's important for rheumatologists to work closely with patients to design and implement individualized therapy programs. .
