More about Rheumatology:

Rheumatology is a medical sub-specialty concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic diseases. Medical specialists in rheumatology are called "Rheumatologists" and work with clinical issues involving joints, soft tissues, and the associated connective tissues.

Rheumatology is a rapidly evolving medical specialty. Frequent advancements are due, in part, to new scientific discoveries about the immunology of rheumatological disorders. Because the characteristics of such disorders are usefully explained by immunology, the pathogenesis of major rheumatological disorders are often described in terms of the autoimmune system, i.e. as autoimmune diseases.

Medical treatment of rheumatological disorders can help patients with rheumatism lead much improved lives.
