Some of the more common diseases Rheumatologists treat include:

  • Fibromyalgia — a chronic condition that causes pain, general fatigue, and more
  • Gout – a buildup of uric acid that causes pain and swelling in the joints
  • Osteoporosis — a condition that causes the bones to lose strength and density
  • Psoriatic arthritis — combines swollen and sore joints with red, itchy skin patches
  • Rheumatoid arthritis — an autoimmune disease that causes joint damage and pain
  • Tendinitis — inflammation of the tendons that causes acute pain and tenderness

For a more comprehensive list of conditions treated, we recommend contacting your rheumatologist.
