Frequently asked questions

When is it worth scheduling an appointment with a rheumatologist?
It is worth seeing a rheumatologist if you experience joint pain, swelling, or stiffness, limited mobility, suspected autoimmune diseases (lupus, scleroderma), or for the diagnosis of osteoporosis and gout.
What does a rheumatology consultation look like?
The appointment includes a detailed medical interview regarding joint-related symptoms, a physical examination (including assessment of the joints and range of motion), and a review of test results. The rheumatologist may order laboratory and imaging tests to establish a diagnosis and may recommend pharmacological treatment or rehabilitation.
Does a rheumatologist treat autoimmune diseases?
