Rheumatology

Living with joint pain and autoimmune conditions can be challenging, but expert care can help you manage symptoms and improve your quality of life. At NEUMED Clinics, we offer specialized Rheumatology services to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the joints, muscles, and connective tissues.

What is Rheumatology?

Rheumatology focuses on autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in the musculoskeletal system. Common rheumatic conditions include:

• Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): An autoimmune disease causing joint inflammation and damage.
• Osteoarthritis (OA): A degenerative joint disease caused by wear and tear.
• Gout: A type of arthritis triggered by high levels of uric acid in the blood.
• Lupus: A systemic autoimmune condition affecting multiple organs.
• Ankylosing Spondylitis: A condition causing stiffness and fusion of the spine.

Symptoms of Rheumatic Diseases

Key symptoms to watch for include:
