FAQ's
What is Rheumatology?
Rheumatology is the medical specialty focused on joint, muscle, bone, and autoimmune connective tissue disorders.
Do Rheumatology patients require surgery?
Most conditions are managed medically, but in cases of severe joint damage, collaboration with orthopedics may be required for surgical intervention.
Are biologics safe for long-term use?
Biologics are carefully monitored medications prescribed when conventional treatments fail. Regular follow-up ensures safety and effectiveness.
How can lifestyle affect rheumatology conditions?
Balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management play a critical role in reducing symptoms and slowing disease progression.
How often should I visit a rheumatologist?
Visit frequency depends on the severity and type of condition. Initial treatment may require frequent visits, gradually reducing as the patient stabilizes.
