The Rheumatology Department provides treatment for rheumatic diseases, collagen diseases, and autoimmune diseases.
Rheumatic diseases, collagen diseases, and autoimmune diseases are general terms for diseases in which the body's immune system, which is supposed to fight off foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses, attacks the body itself, causing physical discomfort.
These diseases cause damage to various organs, so treatment by specialists with a broad perspective is necessary.

Most medications are taken orally, but some are self-injected (subcutaneously).
Our staff will provide guidance so that you do not feel anxious if you inject yourself.
For those with severe joint pain, we can also perform hyaluronic acid injections and procedures to drain joint fluid.
Rheumatic diseases vary in symptoms and appropriate treatment for each patient, so we propose medical treatment tailored to the patient's condition,
