There are many different types of rheumatic disease.

For us, close cooperation with primary care physicians and therapists is a matter of course. In addition, we work together with specialists in an interdisciplinary manner, especially Hirslanden Andreas Clinic.

RHEUMATIC DISEASES

There are different categories of rheumatic disease. There are inflammatory rheumatic diseases such as:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Psoriatic arthritis (arthritis = inflammation of the joint due to psoriasis)
  • Connective tissue diseases such as lupus
  • Spondylarthropathies such as ankylosing spondylitis
  • Gout (crystal arthropathies)

 

There are also degenerative rheumatic diseases (diseases caused by wear) such as:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Herniated disc and wear of the spine
  • Narrow spinal canal

 

Furthermore, there are some local problems of the soft tissues that belong to the field of rheumatology, such as:

  • Golfer’s or tennis elbow

 

Generalized rheumatic pain conditions can also be diagnosed, such as:

  • Fibromyalgia or soft-tissue rheumatism.

 

Osteoporosis (bone loss) and other disorders of the bone metabolism are also part of the field of rheumatology.

We always start with a thorough investigation, then use this as the basis for designing a treatment concept that is continuously checked against subjective and objective aims. Taking a holistic approach to all individual problems is particularly important in the field of rheumatology because pathologies can occur in very different body regions of the musculoskeletal system, as well as in the skin and internal organs.
