Musculoskeletal conditions are a wide range of ailments that affect the tissues that make up your body, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones. While you may see an orthopedic surgeon to correct many of these issues, some symptoms and conditions are more inflammatory in nature, making it necessary for you to seek care from a rheumatologist.
These conditions include the following common types, and more:
All of these conditions carry their own struggles, but all are associated with chronic pain and loss of mobility. If you’re struggling with pain in your joints due to a musculoskeletal condition, don’t let your problem progress and worsen. Reach out to the experts at Southland Rheumatology Center to receive the accurate diagnosis you deserve and begin developing your tailor-made treatment plan.
Both musculoskeletal conditions and patients’ bodies come in a wide variety, and no two cases will be exactly the same. That’s why Southland Rheumatology Center will ensure that the treatment you receive for your musculoskeletal condition will be tailored to your unique needs as an individual person, as well as your individual diagnosis.
