Autoimmune conditions occur when the immune system sends inflammation to areas of the body when it is not needed causing damage/symptoms. These diseases can also affect the eyes, skin, nervous system and internal organs. Rheumatologists treat joint disease similar to orthopedists but do not perform surgeries. Common diseases treated by rheumatologists include osteoarthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic back pain, tendinitis, and lupus. Many rheumatologists also conduct research to find a cause of and better treatment of a rheumatic disease.
Rheumatologists are specially trained to do the detective work necessary to discover the cause of your symptoms. It is important to determine the diagnosis early, so that appropriate treatment can be started. Some musculoskeletal conditions respond best to treatment in the early stages of the disease.
