Rheumatology is a subspecialty in internal medicine and pediatrics that deals with the joints, soft tissues, autoimmune diseases and heritable connective tissue disorders.

A rheumatologist specializes in the diagnosis, treatment and therapy of the rheumatic diseases.

A rheumatologist diagnoses and treats musculoskeletal disease and systemic autoimmune conditions.

Unlike an orthopaedist, rheumatologists do not perform surgery to treat joint disease. Furthermore, the goal of many rheumatologists is to find the underlying cause of rheumatic disease and conduct research to find better treatment options.
