General information
Rheumatology is a medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of diseases affecting the joints, muscles, bones, and connective tissue. It covers a wide spectrum of conditions — from inflammatory autoimmune diseases to degenerative changes related to age, lifestyle, or overuse of the joints and muscles.
Rheumatological diseases often follow a chronic course and can lead to pain, stiffness, swelling, and limited mobility. Left untreated, they can affect not only the joints but also internal organs such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, or skin. This is why early diagnosis and timely treatment are key to preventing permanent damage and preserving a good quality of life.
