Rheumatic diseases, which afflict the joints and musculoskeletal soft tissues, account for over 10% of office visits to internists. Rheumatic conditions are cared for principally by primary care physicians, orthopedists, neurologists, rheumatologists, and physiatrists. This book provides a review of complex neurologic-rheumatologic interactions in much greater detail than in standard neurologic or rheumatologic texts.
