Conditions

Rheumatology

Rheumatology encompasses a wide range of conditions from inflammatory arthritis and vasculitis, to pain disorders and gout. Rheumatologists deal with conditions involving the joints but also where inflammation plays a key role elsewhere in the body, like eyes, skin and blood vessels. If you are unsure whether a rheumatologist is the right person for your problem we recommend you talk to your general practitioner.
