Description

Pediatric Rheumatology is the study and treatment of rheumatic diseases and conditions in children. A rheumatologist is a physician who uses non-surgical evaluation and treatment of diseases of joints, muscles, bones, tendons and other areas of the musculoskeletal system. A pediatric rheumatologist diagnoses and treats arthritis, back pain and muscle strains in infants, children and adolescents. Many rheumatic diseases and conditions feature immune system abnormalities, so the rheumatologist may also treat the young patient’s immune system.
