What Does a Rheumatologist Treat?

Rheumatologists specialise in diagnosing and managing conditions that affect the joints, bones, muscles, and immune system. These include:

• Rheumatoid Arthritis – an autoimmune disease causing joint pain, stiffness, and swelling
• Psoriatic Arthritis – joint inflammation that can occur with psoriasis
• Lupus (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) – a chronic autoimmune condition affecting multiple organs and systems
• Gout – a painful form of arthritis caused by uric acid crystal buildup, often in the big toe or other joints
• Ankylosing Spondylitis – a form of inflammatory arthritis primarily affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints
• Vasculitis – inflammation of blood vessels, which may affect organ function
• Osteoarthritis – degenerative joint disease common in older adults
• Connective Tissue Disorders – such as scleroderma and Sjögren’s syndrome
• Undifferentiated Inflammatory Arthritis – symptoms that may not yet meet criteria for a specific condition
• If you are experiencing persistent joint pain, fatigue, unexplained inflammation, or symptoms suggestive of an autoimmune condition, a consultation with a rheumatologist may assist with assessment and management.
