Rheumatology

Inflammation of a joint, muscle, bone or internal organ can be very painful. If you are living with chronic discomfort, it may be time to consult a rheumatologist to find the underlying cause of the pain. At Penn Highlands Healthcare, our board-certified rheumatologists are highly experienced in musculoskeletal conditions as well as autoimmune and inflammatory conditions in people of all ages.

What are the Most Common Reasons to see a Rheumatologist?

Three common reasons to see a rheumatologist include:

  • A diagnosis of arthritis or a rheumatic disease
  • Pain or swelling that is not easily identifiable
  • Blood test results that indicate the presence of a rheumatic disease.

What Conditions do Rheumatologist Treat?

Rheumatologists treat four types of conditions:

Inflammatory Disorders – conditions affecting the joints, muscles and bones. Examples include osteoarthritis and Crohn’s Disease to name a few.

Autoimmune Diseases – these occur when a person’s immune system attacks healthy tissues in the body. Examples include lupus, multiple sclerosis, celiac disease and more.

Connective Tissue Disorders – conditions that impact ligaments, tendons and skin such as tendonitis and tennis elbow.

Inherited Conditions – ailments that are passed along through generations such as osteoporosis and scleroderma.
