Rheumatology, the importance of a timely diagnosis

A rheumatology examination at Quisisana, for which a fee is charged and which is not affiliated with the National Health System, is carried out in a facility that, since its inception, has paid great attention to the selection of its specialists and the search for the best diagnostic and therapeutic methods.

In the field of rheumatology, early diagnosis is of particular importance, as it makes it possible to set a correct treatment course, reduce the use of drugs and improve the prognosis. The rheumatology examination makes it possible to prevent, diagnose and set up a treatment course for rheumatic diseases such as arthritis, arthrosis, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis.

During the examination, the rheumatologist collects information on the patient's state of health, symptoms, lifestyle, pre-existing conditions and family history of any diseases. He then proceeds with the clinical assessment: palpation of the abdomen, auscultation of the heart and measurement of blood pressure. If necessary, he may prescribe in-depth diagnostics such as blood tests, radiological or cardiological examinations. The examination requires no preparation and lasts about 40 minutes.
