Rheumatology

Rheumatology is the medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the joints, bones, muscles, and connective tissues. Common conditions treated by rheumatologists include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lupus, gout, and various forms of vasculitis, among others.

Diagnosis in rheumatology relies on a combination of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. These may include blood tests, X-rays, ultrasounds, and magnetic resonances. At AGEL Canarias, we use advanced technology to obtain accurate and rapid results, facilitating early diagnosis and timely treatment.

Treatment for rheumatological diseases varies depending on the specific condition and may include anti-inflammatory medications, immunosuppressants, biological therapies, and physical rehabilitation. At AGEL Canarias, we offer a personalized approach that combines these treatment options to control the disease and improve the patient’s quality of life.

While some rheumatological diseases have an unmodifiable genetic basis, certain factors like diet, exercise, and avoiding injuries can help reduce the risk of developing conditions such as osteoarthritis or osteoporosis. At AGEL Canarias, we promote a preventive approach that includes regular check-ups and patient education to maintain musculoskeletal health.

At AGEL Canarias, we distinguish ourselves through our focus on High-Resolution Medicine, which combines rapid and accurate diagnosis with comprehensive and personalized treatment. Our cutting-edge technology and infrastructure allow us to offer efficient care, reducing waiting times and improving outcomes for our patients.
