Rheumatology
Rheumatology deals with diagnostics and non-operative treatment of locomotor system diseases and injuries involving pain and functional disorders. Rheumatic diseases comprise a spectrum of chronic inflammatory, degenerative or autoimmunological diseases, which normally require long-term support. Anti-inflammatory drugs and physical medicine can help many patients.
