About of Renea V. Johnston

Renea V. Johnston is a rheumatologist based in Melbourne, VIC, Australia. In day-to-day practice, she looks after people with pain and inflammation in joints, tendons, and soft tissue. If you’ve been dealing with ongoing aches, stiffness, or flare-ups, that’s the kind of care her work is built around.


Her patient mix includes people with arthritis such as osteoarthritis, gout, and psoriatic arthritis. She also manages conditions where infection or sudden inflammation can be an issue, including septic arthritis. At times, visits are about long-lasting problems like frozen shoulder, bursitis, tendinitis, and tennis elbow, where simple movements can feel tough or sore.


She also helps with acute pain that can come from the musculoskeletal system. That might include things like tendons and joints getting irritated, or pain that follows a more serious injury. The profile also lists care linked to the spine, such as a fractured spine and vertebroplasty, along with endoscopy. Varicose veins are included as well, so at times the focus may be on blood-flow related issues that can sit alongside other health problems.


Experience details aren’t listed in this profile, but the services named here show a wide range of conditions she works with. Her approach is practical and calm, with care that fits around what’s going on for you, not just the label on the diagnosis.


Education information isn’t included on this page. Research and clinical trial details also aren’t listed here, so it’s best to ask the clinic directly if that’s something you want to know before booking.
