Rheumatology is the treatment of diseases that affect the bones, joints, muscles, and soft tissues of the musculoskeletal system. These diseases can cause chronic pain, swelling, stiffness, and joint damage. Many of the conditions treated by a rheumatologist are considered autoimmune disorders. This is a group of disorders where a person’s immune system is over-active and can cause excess inflammation in parts of the body.
