presentation

In case of long-lasting, repeated or sudden pain in the neck, shoulders, back, lower back, hips, wrists or ankles, a complex rheumatological examination should be performed.

It is a misbelief that rheumatological problems may only affect the elderly. Anybody can experience them, independent of age or gender. Rheumatological inflammations that occur already in younger age and may result in serious symptoms very early can be treated with high efficacy. Consequently, early diagnosis of such cases may improve their outcome considerably.
