Pediatric Rheumatology

Pediatric rheumatology is a subspecialty of rheumatology focused on diagnosing and treating rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases in children and adolescents. These conditions can affect the joints, muscles, bones, and connective tissues, causing symptoms like pain, swelling, stiffness, and fatigue. Pediatric rheumatologists are specifically trained to manage these conditions in young patients, who may experience diseases differently than adults.
