FAQ

What conditions does rheumatology cover?

Rheumatology addresses a wide range of conditions affecting joints, bones, muscles, and autoimmune diseases. Common conditions include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lupus (SLE), gout, and spondyloarthropathies like ankylosing spondylitis.

What diagnostic tests are used in rheumatology?

Rheumatologists use advanced diagnostic tools such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), high-resolution ultrasound (USG), blood tests (like Nephelometry and ELISA for immunological tests), and joint fluid analysis to diagnose and monitor rheumatic diseases.

Can rheumatologic conditions be managed without surgery?

Yes, many rheumatologic conditions can be effectively managed with non-surgical treatments such as medications, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and injections. Surgery is considered when conservative treatments are insufficient to control symptoms or to repair severe joint damage.

When should I see a rheumatologist?

You should consider seeing a rheumatologist if you experience persistent joint pain, stiffness, swelling, or difficulty with movement that lasts more than a few weeks. They can help diagnose and manage various rheumatic conditions.

What treatment options are available in rheumatology?

Treatment options depend on the specific condition but may include medications (anti-inflammatories, disease-modifying drugs), physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgery. The goal is to manage symptoms, prevent joint damage, and improve quality of life.

How can a rheumatologist help in managing autoimmune diseases?

Rheumatologists specialize in autoimmune diseases that cause the immune system to attack healthy tissues. They develop personalized treatment plans to suppress the immune response, reduce inflammation, and manage symptoms, aiming to prevent disease progression and improve long-term outcomes.
