Rheumatology

Rheumatology focuses on conditions that affect the joints, muscles, bones, and immune system. Many rheumatology conditions can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, inflammation, or fatigue, and some are connected to autoimmune disease.

At EMU Health, rheumatology care is designed to help patients understand what is causing their symptoms and find a treatment plan that supports better movement, comfort, and daily function. Patients may see a rheumatologist when they have ongoing joint pain, inflammation, arthritis symptoms, or a condition that affects the immune system.
