Treatment Procedures :-

Physical Examination : While performing physical examination a rheumatologist will assess the patient’s overall physical condition by checking his or her pulse, listening to their heartbeats and lungs, and feeling for swollen lymph nodes if any.

Diagnostic Testing : Rheumatologists diagnose systemic inflammatory diseases and musculoskeletal conditions. They use a variety of tests to identify the underlying cause of a person’s symptoms. According to medical experts, the potential causes of inflammation are environmental exposure, infections, genetics, abnormal uric acid metabolism, and autoimmune conditions.

Imaging and Lab Testing : Different imaging tests are conducted to look for joint damages. On one hand, Imaging tests include X-Ray, Ultrasound, MRI Scan, and CT scan. While on the other hand Lab Tests include a blood test, urine test, joint fluid sample, etc. Rheumatologists use these results to examine signs of inflammation or infection to test if there are more than normal inflammatory reactants, antibodies, or white blood cells.
