Rheumatology
Rheumatology is the area of medicine focused on inflammation and pain in the joints, muscles, and ligaments. These issues can occur from a variety of conditions and diseases that may require treatment.
Some of the conditions treated by our rheumatologists include:
- Autoimmune disease
- Osteoarthritis
- Sarcoidosis
- Gout
- Lupus/Connective tissue
- Vasculitis
- Scleroderma
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Psoriatic arthritis
- Giant cell arthritis
- Polymyalgia rheumatica
- Ankylosing spondylitis
Rheumatic conditions can be challenging to diagnose. Your doctor may need you to undergo laboratory testing and imaging such as an X-ray or MRI before they can diagnose your condition. St. Croix Health’s rheumatologist can be found on the third floor of the St. Croix Falls clinic.
