Rheumatology

Rheumatology is a specialised field of medicine dedicated to diagnosing and treating diseases that affect the joints, muscles, connective tissues, and bones. Such conditions are collectively known as rheumatic diseases. Rheumatologists are healthcare professionals who specifically treat arthritis and related conditions, focusing not only on reducing pain and inflammation, but also enhancing patients' overall quality of life through comprehensive management strategies.

At Busamed, our expert rheumatology teams utilise innovative diagnostic tools and advanced treatment options to accurately identify rheumatic conditions early, helping to prevent long-term joint damage and disability. By combining medical expertise with patient-focused care, our goal is to ensure optimal management and the highest possible quality of life for each patient.

Symptoms that Indicate You Should Consult a Rheumatologist

If you experience any of the following symptoms, it may indicate a rheumatic condition requiring specialist rheumatology care at Busamed:

  • Persistent or recurring joint swelling, tenderness or stiffness
  • Joint pain that interferes with everyday activities
  • Morning stiffness in joints lasting more than 30 minutes
  • Pain or inflammation in multiple joints simultaneously
  • Unexplained muscle weakness, chronic muscle pain or fatigue
