Rheumatology is a vital subspecialty of internal medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic diseases, which affect the joints, muscles, and bones. These conditions often cause chronic pain, inflammation, and can lead to long-term disability if not managed effectively.
As the global population continues to age, the incidence of rheumatic and musculoskeletal disorders is increasing. This rise in conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis has created a growing demand for skilled rheumatologists who can offer specialized care.
