Musculoskeletal diseases can cause pain, inflammation, stiffness, deformity, or limitation of movement. And systemic autoimmune diseases can affect any organ in the body, such as the kidneys, lungs, skin, eyes, or brain.

The specialists in the Rheumatology unit have the latest pharmacological technology and equipment to ensure the accuracy of your diagnosis and treatment.

The diagnostic tests we perform are:

• Bone Densitometry. We have a state-of-the-art densitometer that provides high-resolution images, and this clarity significantly increases the certainty of the diagnosis.
• Musculoskeletal Ultrasound. This allows us to guide joint punctures by visualizing the process on a screen, achieving maximum precision when injecting or extracting fluid from a joint.
• Synovial Fluid Analysis. This is done through a polarized light microscope that allows us to analyze the morphology and characteristics of the microcrystals found in the joint fluid. It is essential for diagnosing conditions like gout or chondrocalcinosis and applying the appropriate treatment.
• Capillaroscopy. We can perform a detailed study of the superficial microcirculation in the fingers. This microvascular damage is characteristic of some rheumatic diseases.
  • Diagnostic Arthrocentesis: This involves extracting fluid from a joint.
• Minor Salivary Gland Biopsy: A complementary diagnostic method to confirm the diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome.

Therapeutic Techniques and Treatments:

• Administration of intravenous medications.
• Development of individualized rehabilitation programs with physiotherapy treatments.
• Injections into joints and periarticular areas.
• Injections with ultrasound guidance.
• Isotopic synoviorthesis.
