Pediatric Rheumatology Services
Care for Joints, Tendons, Ligaments, Bones and Muscles
A Pediatric Rheumatologist specializes in treating childhood rheumatic diseases. Rheumatic diseases and related conditions can include more than 100 disorders that typically affect the joints, tendons, ligaments, bones and muscles. There are few cures for rheumatic diseases, but proper treatment can make a difference. Therapies can make a big difference for patients by relieving pain, lessening inflammation, and slowing or stopping damage to joints.
