Top 10 Dubai Rheumatologists Most Searched in 2018

Rheumatologists might not be the first doctors you might want to consult with when you have pain in your muscle, bone or joints. We are more accustomed to find family physicians or orthopedic specialists for such issues. However, if you have persistent musculoskeletal issues which is not related to injuries or the pain occurs across multiple joints accompanied by fever, fatigue, rash, morning stiffness or chest pain, then it might be more appropriate to find the rheumatologists than orthopedic specialists. Rheumatologists are categorised as part of internal medicine and focuses more on diagnosing anomalies in your body and treating them without surgery. Rheumatologists will refer you to orthopedic surgeons when surgery is a preferred option for your case. Rheumatologists treat arthritis, autoimmune diseases, pain disorders affecting joints, and osteoporosis. There are more than 200 types of these types of diseases, including: rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, lupus, back pain, osteoporosis, and tendinitis.
