Rheumatology focuses on diagnosing and treating disorders related to joints, muscles, and other connective tissues. Dr Veena Ramachandran, Consultant, Rheumatology at Narayana Health City, Bommasandra, Bengaluru, explains the importance of understanding this medical field during Rheumatology Awareness Month.

She notes that conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus can affect anyone, from young adults to the elderly, dispelling the myth that only the old suffer from arthritis. Dr Ramachandran emphasises that proper exercise can improve joint flexibility and pain, contrary to the belief that it might worsen the symptoms.

Moreover, rheumatologists treat more than just joint pain; they handle a variety of symptoms affecting multiple organs. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for reducing organ damage and enhancing quality of life. Dr Ramachandran advises anyone experiencing persistent joint pain, swelling, or related symptoms to seek expert care promptly to ensure the best possible health outcomes.
