Rheumatology is the specialty dedicated to study, diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic diseases, defined as non-traumatic diseases and conditions of the musculoskeletal system.
At Joaquim Chaves Saúde medical clinics we have a team of rheumatologists with large experience in the study and treatment of rheumatic diseases, concerning all age groups. They collaborate with other specialties such as Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Orthopedics and Pain Therapy, in order to assure a global evaluation of patients.
