Rheumatology is a specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases that affect an individual’s bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons. These diseases can cause pain, swelling, stiffness, and possibly joint deformities.  Many of these conditions are chronic and require lifelong treatment from an attentive and qualified rheumatologist.  At Licking Memorial Rheumatology, Lydia Cortes-Betancourt, M.D., and her staff provide quality and empathetic care to patients allowing them to lead happy and satisfying lives.
