General Rheumatology

General rheumatology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases affecting the joints, muscles, and connective tissues. Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and gout fall under this category. Rheumatologists, specialists in this field, help manage symptoms like pain and inflammation, aiming to improve patients' quality of life. They use various tools, including medications and lifestyle advice, to tailor treatment plans to individual needs, ultimately helping patients maintain mobility and overall health.
