Rheumatology Conditions

WHAT IS RHEUMATOLOGY?
Arthritis, which means inflammation of a joint (where two or more bones meet), actually refers to more than 100 different conditions that all fall into the category of rheumatology. Arthritis and other rheumatic conditions are diagnosed by stiffness, swelling, pain and limited movement in joints and other supporting body structures, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissues and bones. Scottish Rite for Children's Rheumatology clinic treats children with conditions that can cause inflammation in many different parts of the body.
