Many people get confused on whether they should see a rheumatologist or orthopaedist as both of them treat disorders related to joints, bones, and muscles. However, they are different in terms of the way they treat these disorders. A rheumatologist provides non-surgical treatment options like medications to treat joint disorders. On the other hand, an orthopaedist specialises in the surgical treatment of such disorders and managing fractures.
