Painful conditions such as bursitis and tendinitis are examples of chronic rheumatologic disorders that affect localized areas of the musculoskeletal system. These inflammatory conditions are frequently the result of overuse or misuse during physical activity.

Fibromyalgia, a disorder characterized by body-wide pain of unknown origin, can also fall under this category.

Duke’s cross-disciplinary team of specialists provide the best treatment available to patients suffering from these and related disorders.
