Overview of services
Rheumatology is musculoskeletal medicine, with a focus on autoimmune disease broadly defined as vasculitis, arthritis and autoimmune connective tissue disease. These diseases can affect all of the organs in the human body, and a wholistic approach to health is essential. Rheumatologists also treat certain metabolic conditions such as gout and osteoporosis.
​
Trauma related musculoskeletal conditions, such as those sustained in motor vehicle accidents, or at work, as well as primary osteoarthritis, chronic non-inflammatory back pain and fibromyalgia are better served by other clinicians.
