Rheumatology

About Rheumatology

Rheumatology is a medical speciality focused on autoimmune and inflammatory conditions that affect the joints, muscles, and connective tissues.

At Crestcare, rheumatology specialists consult on complex conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other systemic autoimmune diseases. These conditions are often chronic, unpredictable and can significantly impact daily life.


Using tools like musculoskeletal ultrasound for early diagnosis and monitoring, the specialists who consult at Crestcare develop long-term management plans to reduce pain, control inflammation, and help patients maintain mobility and independence.
