Our rheumatology care deals with musculoskeletal problems, diagnostics and treatment of degenerative and inflammatory disorders.
You can contact us with the following problems:
- joint inflammations (gout, psoriatic arthritis)

Physical examination consists of status assessment covering all joints, occasionally with X-ray included. Already in this early stage physiotherapy and pharmacotherapy – consist of NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs), painkillers and medicaments with effect on cartilage-repair – may be necessary.
