RHEUMATOLOGY CLUJ

Rheumatology is a branch of internal medicine that deals with diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating individuals with non-surgical musculoskeletal disorders. Rheumatologists collaborate with other specialists depending on the nature of rheumatic disorders to address autoimmune and inflammatory diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system. With state-of-the-art equipment, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments that are injured and painful receive appropriate treatment and medical rehabilitation to improve the quality of life and regain health.
