What is Rheumatology?

Rheumatologists specialise in detecting, treating and managing patients with rheumatic conditions such as arthritis. Rheumatic conditions can cause pain, inflammation and swelling in the joints, bones, muscles and soft tissues. Musculoskeletal conditions can affect people of all ages, although some conditions such as arthritis are more common in older people.

The cause of rheumatology-related conditions can be defined in a number of ways including synovial or muscle biopsies and musculoskeletal ultrasound. Treatment for these conditions includes pain relief injections in the soft tissue and joints, including in areas of the back, pain relief medication or you may be referred to see an orthopaedic surgeon, sports therapist or podiatrist.

We have experience of delivering 5 star services to over 10,000 patients every year.

Who needs to see a Rheumatologist?

Are you delayed in receiving treatment under the NHS? Would you like a private second opinion that is independant and un-biased with treatment recommendations? Try our private service and beat the long waiting lists to get help sooner.

Any patient can benefit, especially if you are

  • Experiencing muscle and joint pain which is not resolving normally
  • Have autoimmune or rheumatic disease (as these conditions run in families)
  • Your symptoms are significantly worsening over a short period of time

These disorders can fluctuate in severity over time and while symptoms can improve or temporarily resolve when initially treated by a GP, they can return once e.g medication is stopped. When this occurs, treatment should not be delayed and you should consider an immediate booking with a rheumatologist.

Joint damage can occur very early if the symptoms of joint pain are ignored or not treated properly over a period of time. This damage cannot always be reversed with treatment and may be permanent. Do not delay appropriate evaluation.

What Happens At My Rheumatology Appointment?

Our Consultant Rheumatologist will gather a complete medical history and may perform a physical exam to look for signs and symptoms of inflammation/pain throughout the entire body and musculoskeletal system.

Our Consultant Rheumatologist will review the results of any prior testing that has been performed on a patient and may order additional blood tests to assess inflammation or to help diagnose symptoms and is able to order on site radiographic testing (X-ray, ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI) to assess for musculoskeletal abnormalities.

Once the diagnosis is developed an individual treatment plan will be put forward with the patient. Treatment recommendations may include medications, joint/tendon injections, physiotherapy or occupational therapy. Several visits for the rheumatologist might be necessary to fully investigate the underlying issue, condition or cause of symptoms.

Focus is often directed toward improving coping mechanisms, techniques for preventing disability and regaining function, and ways to improve their quality of life.

Clinics and treatments offered for:
  • Disorders affecting muscles, tendons, ligaments, intervertebral discs,meniscus and bursa.
  • Degenerative joint diseases. Osteoarthritis . Knees, hips and chronic back and neck pain

The experts here at Pall Mall Medical can diagnose and treat a number of rheumatology issues in children including the following:

Hypermobility

Hypermobility means the joints can stretch further than normal, which can cause pain and stiffness in joints and muscles, the joints to dislocate and cause recurrent injuries such as sprains. Treatment options include lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet, improving sleep patterns and taking low-impact exercises to improve muscle strength and core stability.

Lupus

Symptoms of lupus (also known as systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE) include joint pain, rashes and a lack of energy. Symptoms can vary greatly between individuals. Lupus is usually treated by immunosuppressive medication.

Musculoskeletal pain

Musculoskeletal pain refers to pain in the bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Symptoms can be caused by injury, sport or even day to day activities. Symptoms include localised or general pain, aching muscles and fatigue. Once a diagnosis has been given then the pain may be treated with physical therapy, footwear advice, cognitive and acceptance therapy, anti-inflammatory medication or lifestyle changes such as stress reduction.
