Rheumatologists investigate, diagnose, manage and rehabilitate patients with disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Although the prevalence of some conditions such as arthritis rises with age, musculoskeletal conditions may affect all age groups and rheumatologists see a large variety of patients of all ages.
Rheumatologists treat conditions such as:
• Inflammatory joint disease
• Degenerative joint disease
• Autoimmune disease
• Back and neck pain
• Soft tissue disorders
• Metabolic bone disorders
• Crystal arthropathies (gout etc)
• Musculoskeletal infections
Your consultant will take a history and assess your condition before giving you their expert opinion. If further investigations or treatments are required, these will be fully explained to you during the consultation.
