Rheumatology
Joint pain, muscle aches, full-body soreness — for some people, these can be signs of a cold or flu. But for others, these are signs of a rheumatic disease or connective tissue disorder.

At Stormont Vail Health, our rheumatology specialists are committed to helping you ease the symptoms of rheumatic disease and connective tissue disorders — such as pain, stiffness, or swelling.
Your rheumatologist is important for helping you with your rheumatic disease or connective tissue disorder, but it’s still important to have a primary care provider as well. Your primary care provider can perform annual exams, diagnose and treat everyday illnesses, screen for other diseases and help you keep your entire body strong
