RHEUMATOLOGY

Rheumatology is the specialized field of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the joints, muscles, bones, and immune system. These disorders, often complex and chronic, can cause pain, inflammation, and reduced mobility, impacting overall quality of life. At the Pikeville Medical Center Arthritis and Rheumatology Center of Eastern Kentucky, our rheumatology team is dedicated to providing compassionate, advanced care tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Our goal is to help patients manage symptoms, maintain mobility, and lead healthier, more comfortable lives.
