Specialists in rheumatology

What a rheumatologist does

A rheumatologist specialist examines and treats complaints and diseases of the musculoskeletal system, i.e. the muscles, tendons and joints. The diagnosis is made on the basis of a thorough examination and a precise identification of the causes, and the treatment is conservative, i.e. non-surgical.
