Saint Francis rheumatologists are experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of arthritis and other diseases of the joints, muscles and bones.
Common Conditions
There are more than 100 types of rheumatologic diseases, including:
- Back pain
- Certain autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, antiphospholipid syndrome and scleroderma
- Fibromyalgia
- Gout
- Musculoskeletal pain disorders
- Myositis
- Osteoarthritis

- Tendonitis
- Vasculitis
When pain in the joints, muscles or bones is severe or persists for more than a few days, talk with your primary care doctor or a rheumatologist.
Treatment
Many types of rheumatic diseases are not easily identified in the early stages. Rheumatologists are specially trained to do the detective work necessary to discover the cause of swelling and pain. It's important to determine a correct diagnosis early so that appropriate treatment can begin early. Some musculoskeletal disorders respond best to treatment in the early stages of the disease.
These diseases often change or evolve over time. A rheumatologist will work closely with you to identify the problem and design an individualized treatment program.
