What Does a Rheumatologist Treat?
Rheumatologists are internal medicine physicians with additional training in diseases of the joints, muscles, bones, and immune system. Many of these conditions are autoimmune, meaning the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. Others involve wear on the joints, crystal buildup, or bone loss.
Because symptoms such as joint pain, stiffness, fatigue, rashes, or numbness can overlap, an accurate diagnosis is the first step. Our team combines your history and exam with lab work and in-office testing such as musculoskeletal ultrasound, bone density testing, and EMG.
When Should You See a Rheumatologist?
Consider a rheumatology evaluation if you have:
- Joint pain, swelling, or stiffness lasting more than a few weeks
- Morning stiffness lasting longer than 30 minutes
- Joint symptoms along with rashes, fevers, dry eyes or mouth, or fatigue
- A sudden, very painful, swollen joint
- A fracture from a minor fall or a known risk for osteoporosis
- Abnormal blood tests such as a positive ANA or rheumatoid factor
Some insurance plans require a referral. Your doctor can send one through our clinician referral page.
Other Conditions We See
In addition to the conditions above, our team evaluates many related concerns, including fibromyalgia, Sjögren’s syndrome, polymyalgia rheumatica, vasculitis, back pain, and rotator cuff problems.
