Rheumatology

Rheumatology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and therapy of rheumatic diseases. The focus addresses mainly clinical problems involving joints, soft tissues, autoimmune diseases, vasculitides, and heritable connective tissue disorders.

A rheumatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid disorders.

Why AIMIS Clinics?

The First Multidisciplinary Outpatient Clinic in Cyprus offering a “patient centeredness” multidisciplinary approach to healthcare where our patients can receive, as needed, a comprehensive evaluation and consensus medical opinion from several and relevant leading medical experts.

Our team of experts, as per the American Standards and Practices, review, discuss and evaluate the test results, diagnosis and design a treatment plan with the most appropriate specialist doctor, addressing each individual patient’s needs accordingly. Moreover, a second expert opinion can further be obtained, if required.

ABOUT US

Types of Common Conditions we treat:

Osteoarthritis: damages cartilage, the cushiony material on the end of bones. As it wears down, joints hurt and it becomes harder to move. It usually affects the knees, hips, lower back, neck, fingers, and feet.

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): happens when the body’s tissues are mistakenly attacked by their own immune system causing joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. It’s not part of normal aging.
  • Spondyloarthropathies (Spine related arthritis) including Ankylosing spondylitis (AS): is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the spine, although other joints can become involved. It causes inflammation of the spinal joints (vertebrae) that can lead to severe, chronic pain and discomfort. In more advanced cases this inflammation can lead to ankylosis — new bone formation in the spine — causing sections of the spine to fuse in a fixed, immobile position.
  • Other Spondyloarthropathies: including Reactive arthritis, Psoriatic arthritis, Enteropathic arthritis, Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), Crystal arthropathies: gout, pseudogout and Septic arthritis

  • Lupus: is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks normal, healthy tissue. This results in symptoms such as inflammation, swelling, and damage to joints, skin, kidneys, blood, the heart, and lungs.
  • Others including: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Sjögren’s syndrome, Scleroderma (systemic sclerosis), Polymyositis
  • Dermatomyositis, Polymyalgia rheumatic, Mixed connective tissue disease, Relapsing polychondritis, Adult-onset Still’s disease, Sarcoidosis, Fibromyalgia, Vasculitis

Soft Tissue rheumatism refers to topical diseases and lesions affecting the joints and structures around the joints including tendons, ligaments capsules, bursae, stress fractures, muscles, nerve entrapment, vascular lesions, and ganglia. Examples include Low back pain, Tennis elbow, Golfer’s elbow, Olecranon bursitis

Our treatments are tailor-made to care for the specific needs of each individual patient. At AIMIS Clinics, we are committed to offering a more effective, patient-centered, whole-person multidisciplinary care.
