Rheumatology and Arthritis

Rheumatology focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases that primarily affect the joints, muscles, bones, and soft tissues. While many rheumatic conditions can be managed through non-surgical approaches, some patients may require surgical intervention, particularly when joint damage is severe or non-responsive to other treatments. Rheumatology surgeries involve procedures designed to improve joint function, alleviate pain, and prevent further damage caused by chronic inflammation or autoimmune processes.
