Rheumatology deals with diseases of joints, muscles, bones, and tendons.
Rheumatic diseases encompass more than 100 discrete disorders, some with
multisystem involvement, and many with a wide variety of clinical
manifestations and outcomes. The rheumatologist diagnoses and treats both
chronic and acute conditions, including arthritis, systemic rheumatic diseases,
back pain, gout, lupus, bursitis, muscle strains, collagen and other soft-tissue
diseases, and athletic injuries.
Interest in the area has increased since many rheumatic conditions have been
found to have autoimmune causes. Because these diseases are often difficult
to diagnose and treat, the rheumatologist’s orientation is toward cognitive
skills. It is important for rheumatologists to have a good background in
biochemistry, immunology, radiology, internal medicine, neurology,
orthopaedics, psychiatry, and rehabilitative medicine.
