There are many possible causes for the conditions that rheumatologists treat. Rheumatoid conditions can stem from simple wear-and-tear to the result of overuse, injury or perhaps just age. One of the most common conditions rheumatologists treat is arthritis—an estimated 40 million Americans have it.
