Rheumatologists focus on conservative, non-surgical treatment of osteoarthritis and regional musculoskeletal conditions such as bursitis and tendonitis. Treatment includes the use of medications, joint injections, and physical therapy.

Rheumatologists also treat auto-immune forms of arthritis including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. These conditions can be crippling and typically require the use of immune system modifying medications.

Rheumatologists specialize in bone health including the early diagnosis and prevention of Osteoporosis.

Rheumatologists also treat auto-immune conditions known as connective tissue diseases, including Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Sjogren's Syndrome, and vasculitis.
