Orthopedic Spine Rheumatology

Orthopedic Spine Rheumatology focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the spine and surrounding structures, often related to autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis. These conditions can cause inflammation, pain, and stiffness in the spine and joints. Specialists in this field combine orthopedic knowledge, which emphasizes surgery and physical treatments, with rheumatology expertise, which involves managing chronic inflammatory diseases. The goal is to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance the quality of life for patients suffering from spine-related rheumatologic conditions.
