Rheumatology is a branch of medical specialty that focuses on rheumatic diseases which affect the joints, tendons, bones and muscles. It is a condition in which the function of your immune system begins to act amiss and attack your body’s healthy tissues.
This condition can be caused by a variety of factors such as genetic, infection or environmental (eg. pollution, smoking) that could compromise the integrity of your immune system. Without proper management, this disease can significantly impact the quality of life for those who are affected.
Unlike orthopedists, rheumatologists do not perform surgery. They specialize in the non-surgical side of rheumatic illnesses which emphasizes numerous types of joint inflammatory conditions and diseases.
