Rheumatology

Rheumatologists provide care for a broad spectrum of illnesses that stem from inflammation within the body. Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, lupus, back pain and osteoporosis are just a few of the more than 100 conditions that fall into the category of rheumatic disease. Early treatment can be important and management solutions may include medications to alleviate pain and inflammation or lifestyle changes such as increasing your exercise, giving up tobacco, drinking less alcohol and controlling stress.
