About Our Rheumatology Services

Rheumatologists treat patients who are suffering from disturbances in their joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons and blood vessels. Some of the more common conditions rheumatologists see include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus and osteoporosis. Aging, autoimmune dysfunctions and/or metabolic imbalances tend to contribute to these types of conditions.
