Rheumatology is the study of rheumatic diseases. This multidisciplinary branch of medicine involves diagnosing, managing, and investigating patients with many different and related conditions, primarily those affecting connective tissues like bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Many rheumatic diseases are autoimmune disorders, like inflammatory arthritis. Other musculoskeletal conditions may develop when an injury does not heal and turns into a chronic disorder.
Most rheumatic diseases are complex or multifactorial entities with pathogenesis that interact with multiple genetic factors and many diverse environmental factors. Diagnosing these conditions involves looking at blood tests and imaging studies. Treatment for these conditions can include a variety of medications, injections, and physical therapy.
