When facing joint pain, persistent fatigue, or other symptoms associated with rheumatic diseases, an accurate diagnosis is the first step toward well-being. As a specialized rheumatologist, my priority is to identify the cause of your symptoms using the most advanced techniques. In this article, I explain how I approach diagnosis in my practice.
What Does a Comprehensive Diagnosis Involve?
A diagnosis in rheumatology requires evaluating multiple aspects:
- Detailed Medical History: Understanding your medical background, family history, and lifestyle.
- Physical Examination: Identifying signs such as inflammation, joint stiffness, or changes in mobility.
- Advanced Tests: Utilizing tools like musculoskeletal ultrasounds to precisely visualize affected areas.
Advanced Techniques for Accurate Diagnosis
In my practice, I use state-of-the-art technology that allows me to:
- Perform Detailed Ultrasounds: A non-invasive technique that provides clear images of joints and soft tissues.
- Apply Ultrasound-Guided Injections: Ideal for diagnosing and treating certain joint conditions.
What Conditions Can We Identify?
With this approach, we can detect and treat conditions such as:
- Rheumatoid arthritis.
- Systemic lupus erythematosus.
- Sjögren’s syndrome.
- Osteoarthritis and other degenerative diseases.
