What is rheumatology? 

Rheumatology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system and autoimmune diseases. At HM Hospitales, we treat a wide range of conditions, from localized joint pain to systemic diseases that affect multiple organs. 

Comprehensive approach 

Our rheumatologists provide you with personalized care, taking into account your medical history and lifestyle. We work closely with other specialties such as dermatology, ophthalmology, and others, depending on the specific condition, to provide you with comprehensive care. We focus on holistic care, considering not only physical symptoms, but also the impact of the disease on your overall well-being. This may include pain management programs and behavioral therapies, especially for conditions such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. 

Diagnostic techniques 

For an accurate diagnosis, we use blood tests such as rheumatoid factor, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide, antinuclear antibodies, C-reactive protein, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Additionally, we work with medical imaging, such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI, and ultrasounds. Other tests we use include capillaroscopy and arthrocentesis. 

Treatments 

We offer treatments tailored to each patient, including the administration of medications. The specific medication prescribed depends on the severity and type of rheumatic disease. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are often prescribed to slow the progression of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. We can also treat you with corticosteroid injections or other medications that can be administered directly, supported by physical therapy techniques. So, if you need an appointment, don’t hesitate to contact us.
