What is Rheumatology?

Rheumatology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic diseases, which primarily affect the joints, muscles, and bones. These diseases often involve autoimmune and inflammatory processes, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and potential damage to connective tissues. Rheumatologists specialize in managing both acute and chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and gout, helping patients improve their quality of life through appropriate treatment and management strategies.
