Centre for Rheumatology

Rheumatology is a branch of internal medicine that deals with the research and treatment of rheumatic diseases, which primarily affect the structure of the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons) and all connective tissue.


Rheumatology is indeed a very broad field: there are more than 100 rheumatic diseases, varying in severity and frequency. Rheumatic pain can be caused by inflammatory processes (e.g. arthritis) or chronic degenerative rheumatic diseases such as osteoarthritis.

Treatment

Primary chronic rheumatic diseases represent the main field of activity of rheumatology. From a clinical point of view, these forms of the disease require the main attention of specialists in rheumatology. Arthritis, arthrosis and osteoporosis are the most important examples.
