Rheumatology

Rheumatology is the study and treatment of rheumatic illnesses. Your tendons, ligaments, bones, and muscles are all affected. It's a specialisation of internal medicine and paediatrics that focuses on rheumatic illness diagnosis and treatment. Stiffness, joint discomfort, and other issues with the joints, muscles, and tendons are also investigated. Basic and clinical rheumatology, as well as clinical diagnosis, therapy, and long-term care of patients with various disorders, are all branches of rheumatology. Rheumatologists are doctors who have had specialised training in the field of rheumatology. A rheumatologist is a specialist in the nonsurgical treatment of rheumatic disorders, such as autoimmune diseases and, in particular, arthritis and joint disease. The area of rheumatology is interdisciplinary, which means it relies on close collaboration with other medical specialities. Rheumatologists specialise on immune-mediated musculoskeletal and soft tissue problems, as well as autoimmune diseases and heritable connective tissue disorder.
