General Orthopedic Rheumatology

General Orthopedic Rheumatology is a specialized field that focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those involving inflammation in the joints, such as arthritis, lupus, and other autoimmune conditions. It combines expertise in both orthopedics (bone and joint health) and rheumatology (diseases affecting the immune system and connective tissues). Specialists in this field work to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance the quality of life for patients with chronic conditions by using a mix of medications, physical therapy, and sometimes surgical interventions. Their goal is to manage symptoms and prevent further joint damage.
