Living with Persistent Joint or Back Pain? Our Rheumatologists Can Help Identify the Cause. Musculoskeletal complaints can significantly impact daily life, whether they are caused by joint pain, spinal disorders, inflammatory conditions, or osteoporosis. Rheumatology is the medical specialty dedicated to the non-surgical diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system, including the spine, intervertebral discs, bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. At Duna Medical Center, our rheumatology specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, with a particular focus on inflammatory and degenerative diseases, as well as osteoporosis.
If for any reason you don't want to or can't leave your home, we also offer teleconsultations. Learn more by clicking here: https://dunamedicalcenter.org/news/telephone-remote-communication-service

What Happens During a Rheumatology Consultation?
During your appointment, your rheumatologist will review your symptoms, medical history, and any previous medical documentation or imaging results. This is followed by a physical examination to assess the condition of the affected joints, spine, and musculoskeletal system.
Based on the findings, your specialist will discuss the next steps and, if necessary, recommend further investigations or treatment options.
