Know Your Rheumatologist
A rheumatologist is a doctor who specialises in diagnosing and treating the disorders of the joints, bones, and muscles, such as arthritis, lupus, and osteoporosis. They treat patients with autoimmune diseases, inherited connective tissue disorders, soft tissues, and immune‑mediated disorders related to the musculoskeletal system.
Disorders treated by rheumatologist
Why do you need to see a rheumatologist?
You should consult a rheumatologist if you are experiencing persistent joint pain, swelling, or stiffness. Other symptoms which necessitate a visit to a rheumatologist include fatigue, weakness, fever, and weight loss. If you have a family history of rheumatic diseases or have experienced symptoms of any of these conditions for more than 6 weeks, it is advisable to opt for rheumatologist consultation.

To choose the best rheumatologist in India, you can follow these steps:
A rheumatologist typically does not perform any surgery but may refer a patient to a specialist for surgical intervention if necessary.
No, rheumatologists and orthopaedic doctors are not the same. An orthopaedic doctor can only treat bone- and joint-related problems, whereas a rheumatologist in addition to musculoskeletal diseases can also treat rashes, systemic autoimmune disorders, and unexplained fever.
Some of the autoimmune diseases a rheumatologist may treat include rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, scleroderma, multiple sclerosis, polymyositis, Sjogren's syndrome, vasculitis, and Type 1 diabetes. They can also manage associated conditions such as osteoporosis and gout.
No, a rheumatologist is not considered a specialist surgeon. They can only treat disorders with non-invasive procedures like medications, exercise, and change in lifestyle.
