What Is Rheumatology?
Rheumatology, or the treatment of rheumatic Сòòò½APPs, include any Сòòò½APPs that cause:
- pain,
- stiffness, and
- swelling in joints or other supportive body structures, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones.
In fact, the group of arthritis Сòòò½APPs falls under the category of rheumatic Сòòò½APPs.
Arthritis and other rheumatic Сòòò½APPs are often mistakenly associated with old age, because osteoarthritis (the most common form of arthritis) occurs more often among older persons. However, arthritis and other rheumatic Сòòò½APPs affect people of all ages.
